Mandatory Annual Training for Current LEAs
The State Coordinator’s Office is required to provide annual training to all active, participating Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs). This training is vital to ensure each agency stays informed of current policies and procedures required to maintain a compliant and successful LESO Program. Please use the link below to review the mandatory training materials.
Mandatory In-Person Training for New LEAs
Our one-day in-person training classes are conducted in Austin, free to attend, and mandatory for all new participants before any property requests can be approved. Attendees must remain for the entire class, including the afternoon session, to fulfill the participation requirements for the Texas LESO Program. Attendees will receive TCOLE credit upon completion.
It is highly recommended that your agency be fully approved for program participation before registering for a class. While we make every effort to accommodate active members who wish to attend for a refresher, priority registration is reserved for new participants whose attendance is mandatory.

All training registration and tracking are managed through the Cornerstone portal.
