WHERE WILL WE STAY ONCE WE ARRIVE IN THE US?
Because travel schedules may vary with country, students may stay overnight in Albuquerque when they arrive in New Mexico. They will then proceed by motor coach to Roswell. It is imperative that students choose a rooming partner prior to departure from Albuquerque for ease in checking into the motel in Roswell. Students will be housed in double occupancy rooms at the Ramada Inn (505-623-9440). The Ramada Inn is a modern motel with an exercise facility, a swimming pool, and access to parks and walking paths.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I GET SICK WHILE I AM ATTENDING
THE ACADEMY?
Appropriate medical care will be provided for students who become
ill during their stay in Roswell. Because the climate of Roswell
is arid, students are encouraged to drink plenty of water to
maintain good health. In addition, it is recommended that the
student bring enough of their prescription medications for the
four-week training period. Often, many of the same types of
medications are not available and policies in the United States
usually require that a physician be seen before a medication can
be prescribed.

countries. We encourage student discussion and interaction with
the instructors on all topics. The students attend seminars and,
through case studies and breakout sessions, have many
opportunities to practically apply the information discussed
during the lecture sessions. Instructors are usually from the Sam
Houston State University Criminal Justice Center or Science
Applications International Corporation.
