The Point Russell Training Academy allows law enforcement agencies from all over the the area to train their recruits in a consistent manner. The Training Academy is a full-time, 30-week training program. During the academy training, recruits receive instructions in firearms, arrest control, driving, the Criminal Code, Traffic Code, police department policies and procedures and in-depth officer safety training.
Recruits receive a salary while attending the academy and are eligible for a salary increase upon successful completion.
Following the academy, recruits enter a 16-week field training program. Recruits are paired with highly trained agents and work four 10-hour shifts each week. Field training is intended to give recruits instruction, direction, supervision, guidance and experience so they may develop good judgment, efficiency and good habits of conduct and appearance.
