Description
The Law Enforcement Training Scholarship Program (LETS) is a grant initiative from the Governor’s Office of Crime Prevention and Policy designed to enhance public safety in Maryland by funding specialized training for law enforcement and prosecutorial personnel. The program provides financial support for non-degree professional development, including advanced investigative techniques, unmanned aircraft systems (UAS/drone) operations, and leadership development. Funds may also be used to bring qualified trainers directly to agencies when more cost-effective than sending staff off-site. The program seeks to ensure that law enforcement agencies and prosecutorial offices across Maryland have the expertise needed to address evolving public safety challenges.
