The Northampton Police Department recognizes that training is one of the most important responsibilities of any police agency.  The process of continuous training and improving officers skills and abilities is necessary in order to maintain a high level of professionalism.  Recruit, In-Service, Policy Review, Shift Briefing, and Specialized trainings are required in order to enhance our officers abilities to perform the functions necessary for police work in today's society.  The Department's Administrative Division Commander, along with the Training Coordinator, are responsible for assuring that the members of the police department are current with their mandated training, as well as making available additional useful and specialized training opportunities.
