Police Corps scholarship recipients graduate Oregon is First State to Gradu ate Officers under New Program fifteen O regon Police Corps scholarship recipients will gradu ate from the Public Safety Acad emy in Portland after 16 weeks o f training. The graduates will serve with the Portland Bureau o f Police. The new officers are the first in the nation to hit the streets under the Justice Department’s Office o f Po lice Corps and Law Enforcement Education program, which is ad ministered within the Office o f Community Oriented Policing Ser vices (COPS). Oregon was one o f six states to receive initial funds last year under the COPS Police Corps program. The other states were Arkansas, Maryland, Nevada, North Carolina and South Carolina. Police Corps is a college scholar ship program for students who agree to work in a state or local pol ice force for at least four years. The funds cover education expenses, includ ing tuition, fees, books, supplies, transportation, as well as room and board. The program was created by the 1994 Crime Act. Participants are selected on a com petitive basis by each state. Students must pursue an undergraduate or graduate degree in a field approved by the policing agency to which they will be assigned. Scholarships are also available to children o f law enforcement of ficers killed in the line o f duty in participating states. Unlike other COPS Police Corps scholarships, those for children o f slain officers may be applied to any course o f study, without any service or re payment obligation. In the first year o f Police Corps, Congress appropriated $ 10 m i 11 ion to fund the program. That amount was doubled to $20 million for 1997.
