APD’s Commitment to Training

At Abington P.D., we seek to provide plenty of training opportunities for our officers.

This not only helps our officers stay safe and be more effective, it also increases their level of professionalism. The Township Commissioners support this effort by providing significant budgetary support for police training.

We are fortunate to have our own training facility, the Public Safety Training Center, which we share with Abington’s fire companies. The photo at left shows a training course taking place at the facility.

All personnel attend two in-service days per year at the Training Center, including hands-on exercises. In addition, officers receive a variety of on and offsite training throughout the year.

Abington P.D. officers qualify with their firearms four times per year, including a night-fire exercise.
