Kilgore College is a comprehensive public community college with a campus in Kilgore and an extension center in Longview, Texas. The Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) accredits the East Texas Police Academy, an instructional program of the College. Courses offered include the basic peace officer, jailer, telecommunicator courses, and various specialized classes necessary for upgrading and maintaining the high standards of individual officers and law enforcement agencies.

Weekly hours vary widely depending on the applicant’s availability and academy scheduling needs. We cannot guarantee a set number of hours on a regular basis; the number of hours an adjunct instructor is scheduled to teach largely depends on their availability coinciding with academy scheduling needs.

ETPA’s primary need is for adjunct instructors available to teach in-service training courses, although there are some opportunities to teach in the Basic Peace Officer Course depending on the applicant’s experience and availability. The successful candidate will be responsible for submitting all training records, training reports, and required documentation for the reporting of training as required by TCOLE and/or Kilgore College, with minimal supervision.
