Opened in December 2004, The Columbus Police Training Academy offers a truly state-of-the-art facility. Aside from traditional classrooms and lecture halls, the new 166,288 square foot main facility houses scenario rooms for experiential based training; a forensics classroom for evidence collection, preservation and processing; physical conditioning center; gymnasium; aquatic center; defensive tactics training rooms; and an auditorium that seats over 500 people.
The goals of the Training Bureau are to provide academic, tactical and experiential based training for new and incumbent enforcement personnel. Every component of the Columbus Police Academy serves to directly accomplish that goal. The training academy is truly a state-of-the-art facility. The majority of roomsrecently went through a major digital upgrade with the rest of the rooms to upgrade in 2017.
