Want to Become a Veritas Institute Instructor?

The foundation of The Veritas Institute Instructor is based on the fundamental motivation to inspire students to be their best. Contributing to this movement is the concerted effort of all Veritas Institute instructors to change the culture of training from simply accomplishing the training for its own sake versus maximizing the value of the training that gets implemented in the field and ultimately improves the conditions of everyone with whom the student interacts resulting in enhanced community relations and cooperation throughout society.

If you believe you may share this motivation, the professional standards of instructors sought by the Veritas Institute are as follows:

  • Dedication and a positive attitude towards public service; passionate about teaching.
  • Demonstrated leadership ability, respect of peers, and personal integrity.
  • Substantial depth and breadth of background in the subject area they are teaching.
  • Ability to apply principles and solve practical problems presented by students.
  • Manage sensitive classroom and student issues with discretion and confidentiality.
  • Command exceptional communications skills and ability to relate to students.
  • Possess outstanding organizational, administrative, and multi-tasking skills.
  • Driven by strong desire to change the culture of training to improve public service.
  • Provide instruction that is comprehensive, grounded in sound theory and logic, and supported by experience and empirical evidence as appropriate.
  • Certified by the New Jersey Police Training Commission or substantially similar credential from an alternative professional credentialing source, or portfolio evaluation of subject matter expertise based on formal training, education, experience in the field, and previous successful substantive teaching experience.
