• Annual Professional Development Curriculum

    There will be no mandatory professional development/in-service training for the current fiscal year 
    (July 2011 through June 2012)

    The MPTC will provide legal issues, officer survival (part two), and first responder training online. Additionally, we will provide a legal issues train-the-trainer class for those departments who have a desire to conduct training internally or regionally. We will also continue the Executive Series training program.  However, none of those classes will be mandatory for the FY12 training year.


  • Training Mandated by the Committee

    In order to ensure that full-time and reserve/intermittent officers maintain their proficiency and stay current in all aspects of their job, the MPTC offers annual professional development training for them mandated by the Committee. Each of the MPTC Regional Training Academies offers mandated Annual Professional Development training to full-time municipal, University of Massachusetts and environmental police officers.  Annual Professional Development training is offered to reserve/intermittent police officers at each reserve/intermittent training site and is co-sponsored by the regional police training organizations and the MPTC.
