During these visits, officers share insight into their departments, discuss hiring expectations, and explain how cadets can position themselves for employment.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u201cThat\u2019s ultimately our goal\u2014not only to get them through the course, but to get them licensed and give them an opportunity to get hired by an agency and progress through their careers,\u201d Cruz said.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>The Basic Peace Officer Program equips cadets with the knowledge and skills needed to pass the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) examination, which is required to become a licensed peace officer in Texas.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u201cIn 2025, we had 100 percent of our cadets complete the program and pass their license exam,\u201d Cruz said. \u201cWe have high expectations of our cadets and the moment they come in we explain that to them because we have a legacy to live up to.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>Toward the end of the Spring 2026 semester, officers from the Brownsville Independent School District Police Department and the CapMetro Transit Police Department\u00a0visited cadets to discuss opportunities within their agencies. Cruz previously worked with officers from both departments.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u201cIt\u2019s nice that they come in and share their experiences\u2014how they joined their agency and how we can be recruited,\u201d said cadet Dakota Fox.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>While some cadets hope to remain close to home, program leaders emphasize that unique career opportunities also exist outside the Rio Grande Valley.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>Officers with the\u00a0CapMetro Transit Police Department earn a starting salary of just under $70,000.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u201cWe\u2019ve seen a lot of interest because of the relocation bonus,\u201d said CapMetro Transit Police Department Patrol Sgt. Daniel Sanchez. \u201cNo other police department that I\u2019ve seen offers the money to relocate somewhere new. It\u2019s been a great incentive. That, along with the base starting pay, is significantly higher than any department in the Austin area.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>Sanchez, a Rio Grande Valley native, graduated from the UTB\/TSC police academy in 2012. He said his academy experience differed from what Cruz, and his colleagues now provide.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u201cWhen I was here, we would get flyers from departments that were hiring,\u201d Sanchez said. \u201cBackground investigators and recruiting officers were rarely available to answer questions.
