Allan Hancock College Police Academy Closes Over Enrollment Drop
Allan Hancock College shut its police academy due to low enrollment after a Sheriff's Department policy shift. Four to five new officers registered for classes, far below the expected 15 to 20, making operation uneconomical. The academy may reopen in September with reduced annual offerings, while deputies will train in Santa Barbara and Santa Maria under the new plan, raising cost and scheduling considerations for receiving agencies.
