Avon Police Department Updates

Two of our newest officers graduated from the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA) on Friday, August 19th, 2022. All statutory police officers in Indiana must attend the ILEA, and successfully complete training in the use of force, criminal law, traffic law, emergency vehicle operations, firearms proficiency, and many other topics related to policing. Upon completion of their ILEA studies, each officer must successfully complete an in-depth field training program that takes approximately 16 weeks to complete. By the time an officer is ready to be released to work alone, each officer has already received nearly 40 weeks of specialized training. We are currently working to fill four vacancies here at the Avon Police Department, and we are planning on adding two additional police officer positions for 2023. If you or anyone you know might be interested in a career in law enforcement, please follow our social media pages and our town website for upcoming information about our next hiring process and minimum qualifications.
