WHY DO WE NEED A NEW POLICE ACADEMY?

For more than 30 years, Dallas Police recruits have trained in temporary, outdated buildings that no longer meet the needs of a modern department. Currently, officers are train in facilities with:

Training Limits

Limited space for physical fitness and defensive tactics.

Facility Strain

Inadequate locker rooms and showers for hundreds of recruits.

Falling Short

Training conditions that don’t reflect the professionalism of the Dallas Police Department.

“Our men and women deserve better. Building the most proactive effective police force in the nations begins with great training.”
