About Us
The BCA Training section provides training to law enforcement agencies on a wide range of specialized topics. BCA special agents and other support staff, as well as experienced law enforcement practitioners from agencies across Minnesota, provide instruction on crime scene and investigative techniques, missing persons, death investigations, human trafficking, safety certifications, and leadership programs for supervisors, managers, and senior leaders. In addition, BCA Training organizes several annual conferences featuring nationally recognized speakers and subject-matter experts.
Classroom Training
The BCA offers a variety of classroom training at its St. Paul and Bemidji offices, as well as at other training facilities in Greater Minnesota. Classroom training includes extensive POST-approved training opportunities for law enforcement agencies, with subjects ranging from investigative courses taught by seasoned BCA agents and other law enforcement experts, to hands-on courses on criminal justice information systems, to workshop-style management courses, to courses on sex trafficking, officer wellness, homeland security, violent extremism, and other important topics.
Virtual Training
The BCA offers virtual instructor-led training as an alternative learning method. Much like traditional classroom training, virtual training sessions occur at a set date and time with a live instructor, and attendees are able to interact with presenters and other attendees in a virtual classroom setting. Attendees will attend sessions from their home or office where strong internet access is available at the designated date and time.
Online Training
The BCA offers online training for law enforcement agencies to be viewed at your convenience. Unlike classroom and virtual training, online training can be accessed as soon as the registration is approved, and completed at your own pace from our training online portal.
