ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I'm Jordan Cotto, a licensed Texas Peace Officer working in school-based law enforcement. Before attending the police academy, I spent several years in corrections, including time as a field training officer. I also served nine years in the Texas Army National Guard.

During the academy, my classmates asked me to organize our class study plan and later elected me class president. I wrote study notes to help us make sense of the material and prepare for the state licensing exam. Those notes became the Texas Peace Officer Academy Handbook.

I write every guide here in plain English using publicly available Texas law and the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) learning objectives. My goal is to help cadets understand what they're studying, remember what they've learned, and walk into the state exam prepared to pass.
