The Peace Officer Training Academy was established to provide specialized training for Law Enforcement Officers who require peace officer certification in their unique positions, including such examples as Police Constables, Corrections Officers, Animal Control Officers, Bailiffs, Court Officers, and Reserve Officers. Such officers are required to meet minimum training standards set forth by the New York Municipal Police Training Council.

The Academy provides courses that always meet and often exceed those minimums, as outlined in the Criminal Procedure Law. In addition, we also offer a variety of specialized courses for police officers, military personnel, security officers, and retired law enforcement officers.

The Peace Officer Training Academy has partnered with Hilbert College to offer college credits for successful completion of Academy courses. We are the only academy in New York State to partner with an educational institution to give you college credits for Security Guard training. Please note: these credits are only available to students enrolled at Hilbert College.
