Applicants hired will attend a one week pre-academy at DPS. The first training academy class will start in November graduating in April, 2013. DPS has 20 slots reserved in this class. The second training academy class will start in February, 2013 with graduation in June, 2013. Upon graduation, the new officers will attend an eight-week post academy at DPS and then 12 weeks of field training at their duty post.
