Standards of Conduct
 |
The law enforcement profession demands honesty, integrity, and moral decency from its members. To foster this type of behavior, recruit officers will be expected to abide by the Academy's Standards of Conduct:
- All recruits will work together and strive to obtain a high degree of cooperation and teamwork.
- They shall treat one another and staff with respect and courtesy.
- Recruit officers are also required to conduct their private and professional lives in such a manner as to avoid discredit upon themselves, the Academy, and their agency.

Ethical Decisions
- Would my loved ones be proud or ashamed?
- Am I acting out of anger, lust, greed, or peer pressure?
- Is it worth my job, career, and reputation?
- Is my choice legal?
Agency Uniforms
For the first few weeks, all recruit officers will be required to wear appropriate business attire. This consists of a button-down white shirt, black tie necktie, black dress pants, and cross trainers. Recruit officers will begin wearing agency uniforms at the discretion of the class sergeant. Recruit officers must have their agency uniforms available no later than the beginning of the third week of training. Required uniform articles consist of:
- Agency short or long-sleeve shirt as designated by the class sergeant
- Agency pants
- Agency belt
- Agency authorized uniform shoe or boot
- Crew neck T-shirt with no markings (color authorized by individual agencies)
- Gun/Utility belt (when directed)
- Sports/running brassiere (females)
- Agency-approved socks
- Small pocket size notepad and pen
Physical Training Uniforms
The physical training uniform consists of NARTA inscribed, navy blue t-shirts, navy blue shorts, navy blue sweat suits, and solid white mid-calf or over-the-calf athletic socks, athletic shoes, mouthpiece, sports/running brassiere (female), athletic supporter and athletic cup (males - when required). Authorized uniforms are available from T-SHIRT ANTICS, 2460 S. Hwy. 69, Humboldt, AZ 86329. (928) 632-0124. Recruit officers shall obtain and bring their physical training uniforms when they report for duty.
The physical conditioning program involves strength and aerobic conditioning exercises. It is highly recommended that recruit officers invest in a good pair of running or cross-training shoes to aid in the prevention of injury.

Grooming Standards
Recruit officers shall maintain the highest standards of personal hygiene. Hair may be worn in contemporary styles, but no longer than the top of the shirt collar at the back of the neck, and no lower than the top of the ear at the sides when the officer is in a standing position with the head in normal posture.

All recruits are expected to eat their lunches at the nearby Bradshaw Mountain High School Cafeteria. Recruits housed at Yavapai College will be provided lunch at no additional cost. Other recruits can either bring their lunch or purchase a reasonably priced lunch at Bradshaw Mountain H.S. Recruits are not permitted to leave campus for meal purposes.
