The Seasonal Law Enforcement Training Program (SLETP) was developed in 1977 to prepare seasonal Rangers to perform law enforcement in areas administered by the National Park Service. The required core program consists of 324 class hours. A successful graduate becomes eligible to receive a Type II Law Enforcement Commission once the background investigation is completed. This commission enables the bearer to carry firearms, make arrests, investigate violations of the Code of Federal Regulations and assist in the execution of warrants. It does not authorize the seasonal Ranger to investigate felonious crimes. Ten schools offer the SLETP in a variety of ways. The diversity of offerings is reflected in the varying lengths of classes. (S) - Straight Academy (40 hours or more/week) (P) - Peace Officer Standard Training with NPS add-on or add-in (0)- One session per academic year (1or 2 semesters) to full time students (T)- One session over two academic years to full time students (C)- Combination of weekends and semester breaks |

Each school recognizes or offers recognition for completion of the course in one or more ways; Continuing education units; Semester hours; Quarter hours; or Certificate of completion.
The cost of each school's program is set by the administration of that school. Prospective students should contact the directors of the schools being considered and inquire as to the availability of housing and meals as well as the tuition costs and any additional fees for ammunition, targets, etc.
