The Criminal Justice Training Council conducts recruit, in-service, and specialized training for municipal police officers in six regional academies. The in-service training features Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) re-certification, legal updates, and officer survival techniques; the specialized training includes firearms re-certification, rape investigation, domestic violence prevention, suicide prevention, and drug investigation. The Council also sets the standards for locally-operated recruit and in-service training programs across the state.
