From different sources, I have gathered that police academy training is 8-12 weeks. It seems a little short to me, as the officer needs to be a very good driver, handle a weapon well, learn life-saving techniques, as well as how to subdue a person with as little damage to them as possible. I suppose one could compare this to boot camp, which is about the same length of training. I am sure the Army has additional training, do police officers have to re-train every so often?
