Your El Paso Police Department future begins at the Training Academy.
During the 26 week training period, you will be taught subjects ranging
from criminal law, report writing, principles of investigation, defensive
tactics, police vehicle operations and firearm training. Your training

tactics.
The El Paso Police Academy is located high on beautiful Scenic Drive
overlooking El Paso. Classes are generally held Monday-Friday, and
some night and weekend training may be required. Recruits do not reside
on the premises. While in the Academy you will be paid as a Police

Exam (this is the state exam), you will be assigned to one of our
five regional command centers. During the next year, you will apply
what you have learned in the Academy alongside a Field Training
Officer who will provide on the job training and mentoring.
