1 10 1. An individual who is not a certified law enforcement
1 11 officer may apply for attendance at a short course of study at
1 12 an approved law enforcement training program if such

1 21 testing examinations. In addition, such individual shall be
1 22 of good moral character as determined by a thorough background
1 23 investigation by the hiring law enforcement agency. The
1 24 academy shall conduct the requisite testing and background
1 25 investigation for a fee if the law enforcement agency does not
1 26 do so, and for such purposes, the academy shall be defined as
1 27 a law enforcement agency and shall have the authority to
1 28 conduct a background investigation including a fingerprint
1 29 search of local, state, and national fingerprint files.
