Local Academy—Funding—Overtime Off-Set |
Attleboro |
The MPTC does not operate enough police academies per year. There is a significant delay with having newly hired recruits attend the police academy. This creates an enormous amount of overtime for our Department. The vacancy cannot be filled because we cannot get new recruits into a police academy. The MPTC does not provide veteran police officer in-service training in our region of the Commonwealth (Attleboro). This is a major problem. Therefore, Departments have two choices; conduct in-house in-service training or join a membership organization called SSPI (South Suburban Police Institute). Each Department of SSPI is charged $3000 to join per fiscal year. SSPI is an independent organization which is not funded or supported by the MPTC. SSPI conducts 40 in-service training for those members department. In essence, those Departments are funding their own in-service training because the MPTC will not. |
Barnstable |
FUNDING FOR REQUIRED OVERTIME FOR IN-SERVICE |
Barre |
I would like to see the full-time academy fully funded via the rental car tax. That would free up training money with which to enhance in-service initiatives. |
Bedford |
We need immediate funding to sustain the level of In-Service training required. Currently, we are only meeting the minimum MPTC requirement which requires 40 hours of mandatory training per sworn officer. Without additional funding from the state this mandate will not be met! For a small department, it is impossible to budget for openings (not a recurring cost). Hence, the need to have the state fund ALL recruit training. Currently, funding recruit training comes from money that would’ve been spent on veteran In-Service training. |
Belchertown |
Holding more classes in Western MA. Travel to the eastern part of the state is expensive. |
Bellingham |
Educational incentives. |
Belmont |
I believe it would be extremely beneficial to the law enforcement profession here in Massachusetts that we have designated training facilities located within the state. |
Berlin |
Allowing the funding to be used for the MPTC to offer a wider range of programs more frequently |
Beverly |
Paying for Recruit training and our in-service, pistol, rifle, TASER, CPR, First-Responder training. |
Billerica |
Relief of recruit fee for Police Academy; A fee per officer should be reimbursed to departments who either provide in house In-Service programs or pay a fee to another department, we pay Lowell Police Academy to provide in service training. MPTC should enhance the quality and frequency of specialty training and online training for departments. Partial overtime replacement should be provided for selected- required specialty training similar to what is provided by NERAC Homeland Security Council. |
Bolton |
Full Time Police Academy at MPTC Boylston |
Bourne |
More availability of training—especially locally. More Academy’s classes needed. |
Boxborough |
Funding to offer specialized training courses |
Boylston |
More Programs—specialized in Central MA is funded by MPTC, not MPI; In-Service Programs need to be better suited for a variety of Depts—not just large; Funding to agencies, especially smaller, to fund costs of personnel attending; Ensure instructors can make it, not cancel day the of! This requires us to pay twice. |
Brewster |
Currently, the state provides 24 of the 40 required hours of annual in-service. If the state could increase that to 32 hours of provided training and allow departments to pickup the additional 8 hours it would be helpful. I am opposed to using funds to offset academy tuition costs. It would be better served to use towards in-service and specialty training. |
Bridgewater |
Comprehensive training facilities including dormitories, driving track, firearms range, water exercise, simulation houses, classrooms, gym facilities, etc. |
Brookline |
Curriculum-based training across all ranks. |
Carlisle |
I would like to see the quality of the in-service training improve. I would especially like to see us go to a POST system to ensure training is consistent. |
Carver |
Backfill or overtime assistance |
Chatham |
Unknown |
Chelmsford |
Possible grants to assist with training and overtime costs would be beneficial. |
Chester |
With mandatory training requirements local small towns must bear the entire burden of the cost. For small departments, training can cost up to 20% of the annual payroll budget. |
Concord |
If state assistance was available for recruit and in-service training that would be of value |
Cummington |
Salary Funding would be most beneficial. As a small rural law enforcement agency this would allow more proactive functions |
Dalton |
All basic full time recruit training offered at no cost other than specific department equipment used. Have a state overnight academy so there is no travel cost or lodging cost for student officers who might have to attend further from home. |
Dedham |
Ideally, all required in service training along with training required for specific positions, e.g., detective, SRO, etc. and relevant training on current topics would be funded by the state. This would require appropriate training facilities strategically positioned around the state for firearms, other use of force, driving, etc. Training also needs to focus on officer development aimed at developing leaders and supervisory skills. |
Deerfield |
More specialized programs that has been nearly extinct due to budgeting of MPTC |
Douglas |
1. More availability to instructor certification classes. 2. Having a grant to allow departments to be reimbursed for outsourcing in-service to companies like MPI. 3. Changing the new requirements for firearms in the reserve academy. Departments who have level 2 instructors should be allowed to qualify their own people. |
Dover |
Statewide Training Academy dedicated to training, not in the basement of some state building |
Dudley |
More training opportunities, including full time recruit training, specialized opportunities, and safety awareness / health training, particularly in Central Massachusetts. Increased availability to in-service programs, for full and part-time officers. Instructor development training for officers to provide lower cost [training] in house and further enhance their skills. Better facilities to conduct training, including “one stop shop” for recruits. |
East Bridgewater |
Online training approved to cover in-service training, saving sending officers out of town and off line for training for week |
Eastham |
More up to date supervisor training and mandates through MPTC that are real |
Easthampton |
Paying for Recruit tuition, uniforms and gear. |
Easton |
In-service training should be fully funded for every agency in Massachusetts. |
Edgartown |
Changes in programs, more variety, more options. |
Erving |
Instructor training; Regional training, closest training facility is 1 hour away; Funding-Town budgets are too restrictive to provide training |
Fairhaven |
We need more available firearms instructor courses, offered at various locations throughout the state. |
Falmouth |
More funding for specialty training |
Fitchburg |
Additional training opportunities closer to the City. Central Massachusetts has been without a full time academy coming on two years. |
Foxborough |
Link up with Colleges and Universities for training and credit; Off set the cost of Overtime for mandatory minimum training through annual grant allocations of training money based on actual attendance; Grant training recognition and credit for non-MPTC approved courses and instructors |
Franklin |
A significant funding increase to the MPTC budget would allow for the following: 1. Reduction or elimination of the $3,000 recruit academy fee. 2. Increase in yearly mandated in-service training locations and opportunities. It would eliminate the need for the FPD to pay dues ($4,000) to the South Suburban Police Institute (SSPI) to fund our own in-service training program. MPTC would fund the instructors and provide full-time staff to direct the SSPI. 3. Creation of position specific curriculum training programs (Sergeant, Detective, SRO, etc.). 4. Increase veteran specialized program offerings (Accident reconstruction, DRE, ARIDE, etc.) 5. Increase instructor related programs so the FPD can continue in-house programs. 6. Supervisory leadership and management related programs. Resurrect the FBI Law Enforcement Executive Development series (FBI-LEEDA Trilogy). Probably the best program offered by the MPTC in 20 years that was eliminated due to lack of funding. |
Georgetown |
Location for Weapons Qualifications; Driver Training; Promotional Training. |
Goshen |
We still complete the Full Time Officer requirement for Mandated In service Training. |
Grafton |
Funding should be provided so that cities and town should not have to pay for Recruit Officer Training tuition and fees. Specialized training to include, Sexual Assault Investigation, Firearms Instructor, Use of Force Instructor, First Line Supervisor should be offered more frequently. |
Groveland |
State funding for the required training would be most helpful. Have more training available and in more convenient locations. |
Hadley |
I feel that most departments are used to and becoming more acclimated to having in-house trainings with their own instructors. It is a less expensive and more comfortable learning environment for veteran officer training. As far as recruit training—a dedicated training academy for each portion of the state (INCLUDING WESTERN MASS) with academy fees covered by the new training bill, would be the most valuable solution to enhance our department. |
Halifax |
Increasing the In-Service mandated hours of training per year; Additional funding to assist in sending officers to training; Additional hours allotted to firearms and defensive tactics training |
Hanson |
Leadership training such as FBI LEEDS. Regular scheduled training for sexual assault investigators. Immediate need for DRE and ARIDE training. |
Hardwick / |
If the State could assist with all associated cost of sending full time officers and part time officers to an academy and all required equipment/cruiser for EVOC. |
Harwich |
Greater availability of recruit classes at locations closer to Cape Cod. |
Hatfield |
Actual in person in service training offered by ONE source ie; Police Academy, and multiple training dates, and enough room to accommodate the number of officers full and part time that are required to attend in service without putting the burden on the department to seek other sources because of a lack of state funding. |
Hingham |
I would like to get back to using classroom training for in-service but overtime costs for the 5day program is too expensive and the issue of travel time arises. Reimbursement for Overtime costs created by training. |
Hinsdale |
My town has such a small budget for training, that ANY assistance would be so very beneficial to my department. Free trainings, and funding!! |
Hubbardston |
Funding to cover officers shifts so that they could attend required training would help small towns immensely. |
Hudson |
Allow for more training at Boylston Academy, including fulltime recruit classes |
Hull |
State assistance as stated in this survey in regard to paying the tuition will be a great help. In addition offering in-service or supervision courses and programs for 1st line supervision, mid-management, and command level. The offering of specialist courses for detectives, crash reconstructionist, elder fraud, online crimes, at a reduced tuition rate or fully funded by the state would also assist greatly. |
Huntington |
Evening classes for reserve and part time instructors as well as instructors available to teach all mandated training at the state academies at no cost to the agencies. Example: First Responders and Firearms |
Ipswich |
Increase state funded training courses for in-service and the full time police academy. Create a back-fill funding source for overtime costs associated with police training similar to MEMA classes. |
Lanesborough |
Reimbursement for mandated training and assistance in funding for specialized training and accommodations. A fully funded, fully staffed training facility closer to our location. |
Lawrence |
Offering a greater variety of state funded training opportunities. |
Lee |
The state should be paying to train selected candidates to the police academy just as the fire service candidates are paid for by an outside source. Our academy system is broken there should be one academy such as the state police academy that trains all police officers. Too much money is wasted in running the multiple academies such as in the current system. Other states train all officers in the same academy and it works just fine. Renting or owning and maintaining several academies as well as several sets of training staffs is not fiscally responsible. |
Lenox |
No fee for the academy, closer programs, allowing self-sponsored into the academies. |
Leverett |
More free training or fee assistance for full time academies. Also more trainings available in our area, northern western Mass. |
Leyden |
Changes in regulations or funding for training which would have to be nights or weekends as our officers have full time jobs |
Lincoln |
Access to more specialized and relevant trainings for all officers and supervisors. |
Longmeadow |
Recruit training should be provided at the prospective police officer’s expense. This would qualify them to apply for a job. Hiring and then enrolling a person in recruit training is an antiquated process. Following graduation/receiving a certificate . . . the candidate upon being hired would undergo a stringent FTO process. |
Ludlow |
The establishment of full time MPTC training instructors. Currently the MPTC uses part time instructors which cause adequate staffing problems resulting in a high level of in-service training cancellations. Compensation is another factor as it pays significantly more to take a traffic detail than to teach at the Academy. The establishment of full time regional training facilities that can accommodate yearly agency training needs. |
Lynn |
Additional available academy training. |
Manchester-by-the-Sea |
Covering the cost of back-filling shift opening created by officers attending training. Online training has been a tremendous cost savings but the quality of the training is not the same as attending an actual class. Many officers know how to “game” the online course and get little out of it. |
Marion |
A program for people who desire to be self sponsored and attend the academy prior to being hired. This would greatly reduce the costs for new hires. |
Marlborough |
A REAL commitment to training. A decrease in DT [defensive tactics] makes no sense as that is the first area where lawsuits stem. This year’s legal training although helpful couldn’t even answer the question about how we deal with juveniles. The courts have a different opinion. That should NEVER happen. We shouldn’t leave training with more confusion. |
Maynard |
Eliminate the required fee for new recruit academy training. Allow the MPTC to hold more specialized training that is free so we don’t have to pay for a private vendor to attend. |
Medfield |
Additional funding always helps. |
Methuen |
increased funding for mandated training, such as firearms and inservice training costs. |
Middleton |
Bring back the Community Policing Grants |
Milford |
Have the MPTC pay for the in-service on-line courses that are provided by MPI (Mass. Chiefs of Police Association). These courses are all certified by MPTC. Have MPTC pay for the Chiefs of Police in-service seminar. These courses are all certified by MPTC. |
Millbury |
Recruit training would be greatly improved by opening the Boylston Academy. Change the mandatory yearly CPR training to every two years. |
Milton |
1) Largest expense is OT [overtime] to send officers to training. Any funding for that would be huge. 2) Need more specialized classes that are tuition free. MPTC great for free annual in-service requirements, but we have to pay tuition/course fees for most other courses. |
Nahant |
Increase funding, offer more specialized training. |
Natick |
The best would be to provide funding to allow departments to reduce the cost of outside organizations providing training. Also need to eliminate the need to pay for recruits to be trained. |
Northampton |
We often are waiting for recruit academies to begin and sometimes cannot get our recruits in because the academy fills so quickly. I would value more frequent academy classes in our region. The WMass academy typically runs two ROTC and I would recommend a third. We are also commonly waiting for courses such as Sexual Assault Investigation, First Line Supervision, and we’d love to see an FTO class. Often when these classes do come up, they are in the Eastern part of the state. So, even though the course is free, it may cost us $600–$1,000 in hotel charges. If the Boylston academy opened, we would make good use of trainings there without incurring hotel charges. |
Northborough |
Limit the number of MPTC owned and operated academies to three and fund construction of state of the art, purpose built facilities with paid staff that can provide a professional setting and education. |
Northbridge |
Establish recruit training at the Boylston Police Academy. Offer additional specialized training at the Boylston Police Academy. MPTC should coordinate curriculum with all MA colleges and universities who award criminal justice degrees and all persons graduating with a BS in Criminal Justice should become academy certified upon graduation. This would increase the number of qualified trained persons being available for employment. We do this with teachers and nurses why not police officers. REDUCE THE NUMBER OF WEEKS FOR RECRUIT TRAINING FROM 25 TO 17–20 WEEKS. All mandated subjects of training should be included in officers in service training. |
Northfield |
Trainings offered in Franklin County |
Norwood |
Have more train the trainer classes and schedule DT instructor, Firearms Inst more often. Stop mandating things, let us decide what to teach our officers. |
Oxford |
A FULL TIME recruit academy in Central Massachusetts |
Peru |
State funding for the IMC [software] program we don’t have. |
Petersham |
If the state picked up the cost for recruit training both full time and reserve. |
Pittsfield |
More frequent academies. More frequent instructor development and certification courses. More instructor level training in WMass. Funding for backfill for officers to attend advanced training. More relevant in-service topics. Updated training regulations. Considering impact on Departments and Department budgets when changing training and qualification requirements. |
Plymouth |
Providing more Specialized Training opportunities to include: Field Training Officer (FTO); New Supervisor Training |
Princeton |
More specialized classes. Funding for specialized classes and recruit training. |
Provincetown |
I have little faith that any meaningful changes will occur. |
Richmond |
unknown |
Rockport |
Mental Health Training; Ethics and Integrity Training; Patrol Procedures Refresher Training; Tactical Training; Recognition of an armed person Training; Funding for overtime to allow officers to take part in the additional training above. |
Rowley |
As stated in other answers, a P.O.S.T. initiative would go the furthest in impacting training initiatives moving forward. A centralized training facility for recruit training which allows for all recruit officers to have the same foundations utilizing the same curriculum and same instructors would have the best long-term value. |
Rutland |
I would like to see more flexibility with the MPTC accepting out-of-state academies. |
Salisbury |
POST system; Standardized in-service annual requirements; Centralized Police Academy with satellite academies. |
Saugus |
Reimbursement for In Service training or no recruit tuition fee for academy. |
Sharon |
Specialized training in areas such as autism awareness, community outreach, street safety, officer safety |
Sheffield |
More localized MPTC training at remote sites |
Shirley |
Recruit Training Cost |
Somerset |
In-service training provided throughout the entire state and not just in certain locations. Additionally, more specialized training is required. Recruit training . . . should be staggered and offered more frequently. Many departments cannot find a place to send a newly hired officer. Police departments are still required to pay for their officers to attend academies. For many departments this is very costly. Funding should be provided to send recruits to regional academies. |
South Hadley |
The firearms training is becoming very restrictive and costly. I recognize the liability and know that this is a priority, but the ammunition and overtime costs are becoming unmanageable. Off set overtime costs. We are a small department and sending personnel on duty can only be accomplished 50% of the time. Our costs for in-service consume 75% of our training overtime budget. This leaves few options for specialized training. the recruit fee, reduction if possible. This year we needed to send 3 to the academy, thus costing us 35% of our fee/other expense line item. Why can this not be funded by the state? (sorry, just read the last question!!!! This would be great) less mandated training. Be very, very critical on what is required for mandated training. Do not require training if it does not promote safety or effectiveness (checking the box training) Reduce the number of required recruit training hours. |
Southbridge |
In service should include all required training including firearms and DT. |
Stoughton |
RECRUIT CLASS HELD IN LINE WITH THE DISCIPLINE STANDARD FROM BOSTON POLICE ACADEMY AND THE MBTA RECRUIT ACADEMY’S WOULD BE OF GREAT VALUE. AS FOR IN-SERVICE MORE CLASSES FOR PATROL LEVEL WHICH INCLUDE MORE INVESTIGATIVE SKILLS. INCIDENT COMMAND AND ACTUAL DRILL DURING IN-SERVICE FOR ACTIVE SHOOTER. |
Stow |
Increase funding |
Sutton |
basic recruit training that is not an hour’s travel away |
Swampscott |
More available academy space, to avoid officers traveling to distant class locations when nearby locations full. This may be alleviated through schedule coordination changes. Also more academy availability allowing for self sponsors which would translate to cost savings for hiring agencies. Qualified instructors, that endorse the topic being presented and training based on critical current needs, such as One Mind Pledge, police use of force and de-escalation techniques. Strategies for dealing with difficult, provocative people, including videotaping officers. Availability of good on-line program as an alternative to classroom for some topics. On line training allows for greater flexibility as new issues come up, such as legal changes, that can be provided in a timely manner to officers. Eliminating academy class tuition would help my department since we still pick up the cost rather than pass it on to the student officer. |
Tewksbury |
Funding the tuition of recruits attending the academy would be a huge relief. Also, funding more programs around officer wellness would really help. |
Topsfield |
All State mandated programs through the MPTC or Massachusetts General Law should be funded or reimbursed back to the department. |
Tyngsborough |
Funding for additional training, reduced or free courses in specialized training. |
Uxbridge |
A more local academy |
Ware |
Funding for same. |
Wayland |
Recruit academies are OK, not great. Purpose built police academies to accommodate all necessary police training. State police training academies. |
Webster |
Opening the Boylston Academy would be tremendously helpful for those recruits that we are sending to the academy. It pains me that we have a need for such a training facility in Central Massachusetts and it seems to be ignored, however other academies continue to offer new classes, forcing us to send officers over an hour away for recruit training. |
West Springfield |
More funding to the MPTC for in-service training. MPTC needs more instructors to ensure In-Service classes do not get canceled or so more classes are added. This would help police departments comply with in-service training obligations. |
Westminster |
Municipal recruit officer academy at MSP New Braintree facility being offered more frequently. |
Westwood |
Supplemental funding to address overtime backfill required to send officers to training. With CBA [Collective Bargaining Agreement] mandates of minimum overtime hours, it is very costly to train officers because of the required backfill. As for recruit training, almost every chief you speak to will tell you (candidly) that he/she is grossly dissatisfied with the MPTC with the exception of a small few group of insiders. It is extremely difficult to get officers into recruit training and the mandate that all candidates must be fully vetted and ready to go in order to sign up, rather than letting departments hold slots, is outrageous. If you look at how other states train, fund and manage training, you will see that Massachusetts is woefully behind. Be it snobbery or illusion, the combination of civil service and the MPTC in Massachusetts leave this state, despite what some may tell you, far behind other states. This is not a revelation or new problem. It is a 30 year+ problem. |
Weymouth |
funding; more access to recruit training academies |
Whitman |

Sunderland |
reduce the burden on the department and town for costs |
Yarmouth |
Better training facilities, more tactical decisions training |
Q10–14 (n=138)
10. If your department uses in-service training sources not offered through the MPTC, have these sources been approved by the MPTC? |
11. Would your department benefit from a statewide database that tracks the compliance of all municipal police officers with annual, in-service training requirements? |
12. Would you support the commonwealth’s adoption of a P.O.S.T. (Police Officer Standards and Training) system of officer certification for all municipal police departments? |
13. Do you believe that the MPTC, as currently constituted and administered, provides sufficient in-service training programs and resources to meet the needs of your police department? |
14. Are there any in-service training courses not currently available from the MPTC or other easily accessible source that you think should be included in the standard in-service training curriculum? |

Q15. As currently projected, the revenue stream from the newly enacted car-rental fee will allow the MPTC to forgo the $3,000 per recruit tuition fee currently charged for academy training for sponsored recruits. If this change occurs, how much money do you estimate that your department will save over the next two fiscal years? (n = 133)
