CLEAT was the first statewide law enforcement organization in Texas to offer training to its members. Since 1976, CLEAT has offered training to assist officers in critical incidents, workplace ethics, and officer rights. Since its inception, CLEAT has educated hundreds of members. 

 

In fact, CLEAT pushed hard in the legislature for increases in training, better professionalism, higher standards, and education for officers. Unlike some other organizations, CLEAT has never sought profit from an officer's training.

 

Since officer training is required under the law, CLEAT has never accepted government grants, or other funding to operate its union or to subsidize its training or operations. Our goal has always been to offer training to our members at no costs. Our members know that they can count on our annual CLEAT leadership academy, regional training opportunities and our TCLEOSE credited training held at our annual convention at NO COSTS to them. Any time there is a cost associated with training, it is simply to bring in outside expertise through our partnership with Calibre Press or other entities.

 

Our exclusive agreement with Calibre Press (and soon to be others) is just a continuation of our long term commitment to offering the highest quality training without seeking to monetarily enrich ourselves or our union.
