Napa Valley Criminal Justice Training Center

Welcome To The Training Center

Leadership  l   Ethics   l   Community Policing

 
Welcome to the Napa Valley Criminal Justice Training Center!  We are certified by the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training and accredited by Napa Valley college.  Our programs offer high quality training for entry-level and in-service criminal justice system professionals.  We are proud to offer a premier basic police academy program that is known for its high standards and cutting edge instruction.  We offer one of the only 9-1-1 dispatcher certificate programs in the state.  In all, over 2000 students a year attend classes offered by our training center each year. 
There are many things that set our Training Center apart from others, but the one I am most proud of is our focus on students and student success.  We put students first in everything that we do.  Our instructional staff includes over 100 part time law enforcement, corrections, and legal professionals.  We require all of our instructors to complete state certified instructional skills training because we also believe that students learn best by doing.  The evaluations our graduates provide consistently praise the high quality of the learning experience they received at our Training Center.

The law enforcement profession is constantly evolving and we believe the role of the academy is to become part of this evolution by training on the latest techniques using state-of-the-art technology and the best subject matter experts we can find.  We have an educational philosophy that includes placing a heavy emphasis on leadership, ethics, and community policing across our curriculum.  In today's world, we also believe officer safety must be part of every class in every program.

In 2008, we will expand our corrections training program by offering the Juvenile Corrections Core Course and Probation Core Course.  We will offer 3 Adult Corrections Core Courses and hope to bring back the very successful Basic Correctional Officer Academy for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.  We hope to begin offering a POST certified Hate Crimes Investigations Course online so that officers can attend training without leaving their own department.

Whether you are looking for training to be a police officer, 9-1-1 dispatcher, paralegal, or probation officer, I invite you to explore what we have to offer you through this website.  Better yet, I extend to you a personal invitation to visit our facility and for you to see for yourself what we can do for your career.
