The tutoring service assigned, the due date for when the tutoring must be completed, and the amount of tutoring required are at the discretion of the instructor.

Any recruit who has a complaint or problem of any type regarding the academy should notify the Coordinator of the academy as soon as possible.  A complaint could include problems with other recruits, instructors, or the college.  The Coordinator will give the recruit a complaint form that the recruit will fill out and return to the Coordinator within 24 hours. When the completed form is returned, the Coordinator will discuss the complaint with the recruit and any other involved parties and then determine what action the Coordinator feels is necessary to properly address the complaint. The Coordinator will then discuss the findings with the Criminal Justice Programs Director and a determination will be made regarding the appropriate action to be taken. The recruit will be advised of the results of the complaint investigation. The completed complaint form will become a part of the recruit’s permanent file in the Academy office. If the complaint was on another recruit, the recruit being complained on will also have a copy of the findings placed in his/her file. If the complaint is on the Coordinator, the recruit should make all notifications to the Director of Criminal Justice Programs. Depending on the nature of the complaint, the recruit may be asked to make the complaint in writing and return to the Director within 24 hours. When the written complaint is returned, the Director will discuss the complaint with the recruit and any other involved parties and then determine what action the Director feels is necessary to properly address the complaint. The recruit will be advised of the results of the complaint investigation. The written complaint will become a part of the recruit’s permanent file in the Academy office.
Decisions made by the Coordinator may be appealed only to the Director of Criminal Justice Programs. Decisions made at the Academy level are final and may not be appealed further.

The Panhandle Regional Law Enforcement Academy Rules & Regulations Manual is the ultimate guide for the academy. If the Rules & Regulations Manual and this syllabus are in conflict, the Rules & Regulations Manual will take precedent. Policies are subject to updates during the course of the academy due to such things as changes in laws, regulations, or rules. If a material change is made to these rules during the academy, an update of that section(s) will be provided to the recruit. Also, in the case of a conflict, TCOLE rules and policies will supersede Amarillo College rules and policies.
