Officer FAQs

How do I know if I qualify?

You must be an active duty patrolling officer that has not yet received a Blue Belt in BJJ. Federal agents, Border Patrol, and Correctional Officers do not qualify.

How does reimbursement work?

We are reimbursing through PayPal. Reimbursement requests must be submitted PRIOR to the end of the month. If you fail to complete the required training, you will not be reimbursed for that month.

What is my check in post?

There must be an Instagram post to your feed, tagging @adoptacopbjj and using the hashtag #adoptacopbjj. These posts are associated with the minimum requirement of 8 classes a month. 

What if I need to go away for an extended period of time for injury, work or Military training?

Send us an email outlining the reason for the missed training and we can accommodate with temporary passes in sponsorship. 

Will I still qualify for reimbursement if I miss any check in posts?

If you do not meet the minimum of 8 training check-ins, you will not qualify for reimbursement.

Can I change the gym I wish to train at?

You can but you must let us know so we can update our records.

Is my gym an affiliate?

You can see a map of all our affiliate gyms under the Affiliate Gyms tab on this website.

How can I help get my gym to become an affiliate?

We ask that you let your gym know about our program and that we are interested in having them become an affiliate. If they wish to learn more please direct them to this website. There is also an affiliate gym application if they would like expedite the process.

What do I do if I get injured on duty or cannot train?

You are required to tell us if you cannot train for any reason. If you miss your minimum check in and have not informed us, you will get a strike against your sponsorship. 

What if I get diagnosed with covid-19 or there is an exposure at my gym?

If you are diagnosed and quarantined or your gym closes for any extended period of time that prevents you from training, you are required to inform us so you don't receive any strikes against your sponsorship.

What happens when I receive my Blue Belt?

Our sponsorship and reimbursement will come to an end once you receive your Blue Belt. Of course, you may continue training on your own if you wish.
