How to apply
The registration process for an MPTC Operated Academy is completed online via the MPTC Acadis Portal.
- The Recruit Officer Course Acadis Registration Guide for Departments provides step-by-step instructions on how to submit a registration request for an MPTC Operated Police Academy.
- Registration requests for prospective student officers must be submitted by the Department Chief or Agency Point of Contact, including sponsored-only applicants.
- Note: The MPTC does not take registrations for MPTC Authorized Police Academies. You must contact them directly for their scheduled dates, process to apply, and tuition costs.
Next steps
What to expect after submitting a registration request
- An automatic email notification will be sent confirming that the registration request has been submitted. However, this does not mean that the student is enrolled.
- Priority is given to full-time municipal, University of Massachusetts, and environmental police officers. All seats are assigned in the order in which completed registrations are received.
- Once the MPTC Recruit Officer Course Coordinators review the registration requirements and officially enrolls the student in an academy, email notification will be sent out to the student officer and Department Chief or Agency Point of Contact with enrollment confirmation and other details.
