The Field Day is part of the home study format: an online class that can be taken at the student’s own pace, followed by the field-day class. The online portion of the home study format costs $19.95 through the online course provider. Students must bring a printed voucher from the online course or be able to show proof of completion from the home study course to be admitted into this class. Class size is limited, and advance registration is required.

All students are required to follow COVID-19 protocols. Masks are required throughout the duration of the class. Do not attend the class if you are feeling sick or have fever, sore throat, or other symptoms. Students should also bring safety glasses and a pen or pencil to write with.

Firearms and ammunition should NOT be brought to this course, but snacks are permitted. For more information, or for assistance with online registration, call the LPSO Training Academy at (985) 387-4480 weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., or email Captain Lafate Day at Lafate-day@lpso.net.
