We know that veteran officers value continued training and professional development opportunities throughout their careers.  An average NPD officer attends over 100 hours of training each year and these classes cover a wide variety of topics.  We’ve sent officers to the Rx Drug Abuse and Heroin Summit in Atlanta, Colorado to study the work of Crime Scene Technicians, Florida to learn about Domestic Violence, Pennsylvania to study traffic safety, San Diego and Chicago to attend the IACP Annual Conference, and even to Israel and Jordan as part of an exchange program.
