FORT BEND, Texas — The Fort Bend County’s police academy has been temporarily closed as it undergoes an investigation, the Houston Chronicle reported.
The state is investigating the Gus George Law Enforcement Academy after receiving a report of an ineligible cadet.
Its August 2026 cadet class has been postponed.
Officials said they are working with TCOLE to allow members of the current class, Class 50, to graduate as quickly as possible while ensuring they meet all state requirements.
Fort Bend Sheriff Eric Fagan stated that the academy would put courses on hold and postpone its August cadet class while his office worked to address compliance concerns.
