Being a current LEO I will firmly state that I believe that an LE Class should be police officers, federal agents, and other members of the community who are officially entitled to the powers of arrest. This should include retired persons that were employed in a LE capacity.
I will at least partially disagree with Kelly (know him - shoot at the same club - great shooter- heck of a nice guy). I believe that 911 operators, paralegals, lab/evidence techs, judges, communication officers, LECA's, and some others mentioned are more than important,......they are vital. All the aforementioned are family and are in the same community but saying they are LE is like calling a cameraman an actor or calling the guy who holds the spitbucket in a boxer's corner the world champ. One needs the other but they are NOT the same. I freely admit I couldn't do their jobs. I couldn't do any of these jobs. Having a degree in any type of criminal justice or law doesn't qualify either (and I have one, BA from Univ. of TN). My life relies on communication personnel and it is appreciated more than they know. As a matter of fact they are very much underappreciated. The difference is I have 6 classmates who have been in shootings and I know many others in my profession as well. I have 2 very good friends who have been forced to take a life. How many judges or paralegals have kicked a door in, took a bullet, been in a pursuit, or most importantly MADE AN ARREST?
As for military, they more than deserve their own recognition. A military class would be great and in my opinion is the most important of all. And no, I was never in the military but I have the utmost respect for all the branches of our military.
