Printed forms should be mailed to:

If students find they cannot attend a class after registering, please notify the In-service staff as soon as possible. Classes may be cancelled if less than ten students are registered. When classes must be cancelled, every effort will be made to contact preregistered students.

Registration

Registration for the class takes place at the time class begins. Students arriving late or leaving early will not receive full credit for classes. Attendees are asked to bring any issued equipment needed for the course on the day it will be utilized.

Radar

Students should bring a department vehicle, radar, and up-to-date radar manual (March 2004 latest) on the first day of class. Students should have read and be familiar with the manual before coming to class.

Manuals may be ordered from the North Carolina Justice Academy Bookstore. Contact Ruby Bryant at 919-525-4151. Students should have practiced with and be very familiar with their radar units before class begins. Students will need 30 to 60 days of practice before class.
