Academy training provides training for police officers. The content addressed in these academies is governed by Police Officer Standards Training (POST) bodies or other state laws.
Police training has two important components: technical and discretionary. Technical training refers to providing officers with information about the procedures and laws for doing the job. Many of these procedures are outlined in departmental policies, and the laws refer to statutes as well as case law. The training also includes technology such as radios, weapons, evidence collection tools, and so on. Discretionary training refers to the training officers receive about how to apply procedures and law and the ramifications should the procedures and law be applied inappropriately.
