Description
The Law Enforcement Training Scholarship Program (LETS) provides financial support to Maryland state and local law enforcement agencies and prosecuting offices to access specialized training opportunities. The program is designed to enhance the skills and capabilities of law enforcement personnel by funding non-degree training courses, including costs such as travel, lodging, registration fees, and training materials. LETS also allows, in some cases, for agencies to bring qualified trainers onsite. The goal is to make advanced and specialized training more accessible and to promote the sharing of new knowledge within and across agencies.
