Our Mission

The mission of the New Mexico Law Enforcement Academy is to provide exceptional basic training and in-service instruction to cadets, officers and telecommunicators that is built upon a foundation of character, competence, compassion, commitment, and comprehensive teamwork anchored with a base of exceptional service to the communities and the agencies we serve.

We will provide coordinated, consistent, and dynamic training and strive to ensure that law enforcement officers and telecommunicators are trained to successfully execute their duties responsibly and in accord with these core values.

Our Vision

The New Mexico Law Enforcement Academy strives to serve the State of New Mexico with ideas and innovations shaped more by experience and the rule of law than by emotion, more by best practices than by politics, and more by intellect than by impulse. In doing so, we will responsibly serve the public safety community, New Mexico Law Enforcement Academy Board, and the citizens of the state of New Mexico by providing exceptional training opportunities while enforcing the statutory and administrative laws and responsibilities entrusted to the agency; demonstrating the character & competence demanded of the profession.
