Description
The Law Enforcement Training Scholarship Program (LETS), administered by the Governor’s Office of Crime Prevention and Policy, provides financial support to Maryland state and local law enforcement agencies, State’s Attorney’s Offices, and the Maryland Attorney General’s Office for specialized non-degree training. Funding may be used for a range of training-related expenses, including travel, lodging, registration fees, and training materials, and, in some cases, to bring qualified trainers directly to the agency. The program aims to enhance the effectiveness and expertise of law enforcement personnel throughout Maryland by supporting ongoing professional development in areas such as specialized investigations, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS/drone) operations, and law enforcement leadership.
