(Frontier) Oklahoma’s Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training removed all references to “accreditation” from its website after a Frontier story showed the agency didn’t actually accredit the online courses it was offering to police officers seeking mandatory continuing education.
Additionally, a private Oklahoma City company, the Oklahoma Regional Community Policing Institute, removed training on “radical Islam” that Adam Soltani, executive director of the Oklahoma chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, called “biased” in the same Frontier story.
CLEET made several changes to the way it describes how it tracks and certifies training it offers to Oklahoma law enforcement annually. Those changes came in the days following a story by the Frontier which showed the agency used “the honor system” before offering the classes to officers, rather than an actual accreditation process.
