Since opening day the academy has made over 1000 presentations, totaling some 35,000 hours to more than 18,000 officers.
The academy staff, frequently attends meetings,conferences,schools and seminars throughout the State in an effort to remain "up to date" on the needs and demands of law enforcement training.
The Academy meets or exceeds TCLOSE requirments regarding training certification of all licensing courses including the Basic Peace Officer Course.
The goal and mission of the Gus George Law Enforcement Academy is to provide innovative training as the need is identified on a continuing basis. "Hands on" training coupled with post test have become an integral part of our course planning and presentation. evaluations and reviews convince us that we must continue this trend in law enforcement training.
The Academy has gained the reputatiion of being one of the finest small Academies in the State.

FACILITIES AND INSTRUCTIONAL RESOURCES
|
The Academy is a well designed facility. It is located directly behind the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Department in Richmond, Texas. The facility was completed and occupied in February of 1986.
The "training" capabilities design are first and foremost as reflected by the following:
- Two large dedicated classrooms
- Conference/classroom
- Training room
- Armory
- Video room
- Break/lounge area
- One acre containing an obstacle course and jogging track
- F.A.T.S.IV (Firearms Training System)
- Large, hard surface parking lot
All instructors who are involved in academy presentations must hold a TCLOSE Instructor certificate or acceptable professional credentials. The Academy continues to increase an already impressive "instructor corps" by rigidly screening applicants for two Basic Police Instructor courses each year. Additionally, qualified professionals are continually brought into our academy structure from in and out of our immediate area for specific course presentations
