SWILEA Academy Class 23-34 began with entrance PT testing on July 13th. The official first day of this session was July 17th. (Class Full). The graduation for this session will be November 3rd at AIS Diamond Auditorium, 1:30 pm.
SWILEA Academy Class 24-35 will begin in January of 2024. Due to new regulations on Academy hours, the exact start date and graduation are still to be determined, but entrance PT will be either January 24th or 25th with the official session starting on January 29th. This session is currently full, but we are accepting wait list reservations.
SWILEA Academy Class 24-36 will begin tentatively with entrance PT testing on July 17th or 18th. We will open this session up for registration later in 2023.
Registration for classes starting in 2023 will be handled by submitting a request with all recruit information to the SWILEA Commander at kkassel@evansvillepolice.com. Recruits must be full time sworn officers/deputies at the time the request is submitted. Departments will be notified in a timely manner of the recruits that have been accepted. Notification of registration by the agency does not automatically guarantee a spot in the academy. Agencies will be notified if they have or have not been accepted based on the number of agencies desiring spots and the number of spots available. That determination is usually not able to be made until approximately 2 months from the start of the upcoming academy.
