BCC’s BLET Class Achieves 100% Pass Rate Under New Expanded Curriculum

Brunswick Community College’s Basic Law Enforcement Training (BLET) Class 73 — the Spring 2025 Day Class — has made history. As BCC’s first to train under North Carolina’s newly expanded 874-hour curriculum, the class not only met the challenge but exceeded expectations by achieving a 100% pass rate on the rigorous North Carolina Training & Standards State Exam.

The four-hour, 300-question exam is a major milestone for aspiring officers across the state. BCC’s success reflects the extraordinary commitment of both the students and the instructors. “We could not be more proud of our students on this accomplishment,” said BLET Program Director J.D. Smith. “Our instructors outdid themselves to be sure our students were more than ready for the challenge.”

Graduation for this class will take place on July 15 at 1 PM at Odell Williamson Auditorium, where we will recognize students in front of family, friends, law enforcement professionals, and the BCC community.

BCC’s BLET program equips students with essential skills for entry-level employment in law enforcement, covering topics such as patrol procedures, criminal law, ethics, community relations, and more. Students must pass all units of study mandated by the North Carolina Criminal Justice Education and Training Standards Commission and the North Carolina Sheriffs’ Education and Training Standards Commission to earn their certificate.

With this milestone, Class 73 sets a powerful example of what excellence and preparation can achieve.
