Reporting to the CHP Academy

Reporting to the AcademyYou will need to arrive at the Academy for your first day by 0730 hours. You will be greeted by an officer from the Academy. Upon arrival, you will fill out various Department and Academy forms. After you have completed the forms process, you will be greeted by Officers from the Staff Office. They will be with you for the remainder of the day.

Personal Affairs

Cadets should have their personal affairs in order prior to reporting to the Academy. Be prepared to be separated from your family for several months. Personal and family conflict (marriage problems, being homesick, etc.) is the main cause for early separation from cadet training

Male and Female cadets should report to the Academy in appropriate business attire.

Uniform items will then be issued and you will be required to be in uniform for the remainder of the day. (Bring enough "proper attire" for at least three days, as the Cadet Uniform may not be ready.)
