70th Annual Police Training Academy to Start
Councilwoman Ryan’s Statement Regarding the Upcoming Police Academy
I am pleased to share that the Providence Police Department has announced the 70th annual Police Training Academy will commence on Monday, May 24th. The academy will be located in Ward 5, at the former Providence Water Supply Building at 552 Academy Avenue and will run Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
With fifty new recruits, part of the most diverse class in history, this is a great opportunity for our Police Department to grow and improve based upon the unique needs of our city. These men and women will be trained in the classroom and role-play scenarios on how to best serve and protect all Providence residents and visitors.
