Seasonal Law Enforcement Training Program A successful graduate becomes eligible to receive a Type II law enforcement commission once a background investigation, drug testing and medical screening is completed. Information regarding medical standards for commissioned rangers can be found here. Prospective students should contact the school they plan on attending for the specific graduation requirements. Fitness requirements for seasonal positions will be posted here when they become applicable and available. Once obtained, the commission enables the bearer to carry firearms, make arrests, investigate crimes and assist in the execution of warrants. Schools offer the SLETP in a variety of ways. The diversity of offerings is reflected in the varying lengths of classes. Each school recognizes or offers recognition for completion of the course in one or more ways: The cost of each school's program is set by the administration of that school. Prospective students should personally contact the directors of the schools being considered and inquire as to the availability of housing and meals, as well as the tuition costs and any additional fees for ammunition, targets or other items. We have attempted to offer the most recent information on class dated, but cancellations and changes in scheduling are not uncommon.
