This paper presents the results of an investigation into the language learning styles of students at the People’s Police College II. The participants in this study consisted of 105 students (male = 96 and female = 9) who are studying at the People’s Police College II. They all are first-year students. Subjects completed some types of questionnaires, that was a background questionnaire used to collect the students’ information, Joy Reid’s Perceptual Learning Style Preference Questionnaire (PLSPQ) in their formal classes. The research finding displayed three learning style preferences used by the first-year students at the People’s Police College II, namely auditory, group, and visual learning styles. From the survey results, the author found that teachers' teaching methods should also vary accordingly. If teachers know students' preferred learning styles, they will design appropriate activities for their students; moreover, if the students understand their personal learning styles, they may heighten their learning ability and adapt their learning preferences to different teaching situations.
