I respectfully disagree with the previous unsigned comment. It would be nice, however, if the article had an introduction that indicated why police academies are notable, both in general and in particular cases. yoyo (talk) 19:09, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I will be adding more information about the overall aspects to police training. The training obviously varies from state to state and country to country, however they have many similarities. I will do the best I can in finding the most relevant and best information about the general training in all academies. Chasearave (talk) 16:50, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
