More rigorous training. Enhancing our cadets’ quality of life. Doubling our cadet training capacity.
DNA Submissions and Alternatives to Incarceration
Consolidation are examples of low-liability courses
now offered online in the Blended Training Model.
This allows instructors to focus valuable face-to-face
training time during Basic Training on those courses
that cannot be replaced with online modules, such
as Defensive Tactics and Firearms Instruction.
The Blended Model doesn’t just benefit new cadets.
All DCS employees can access the online courses. Our
rapidly expanding catalog of available courses has
had nearly 5,000 enrollments, primarily from veteran
DCS employees eager to avail themselves of our
powerful new development resource.
