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.
