Join the MPD Team
Laterals/Accelerated Academy
The Madison Police Department is currently recruiting for an "accelerated" academy exclusively for veteran police officers (i.e., officers with three or more years of continuous and full-time law enforcement experience in patrol, in the State of Wisconsin). As a veteran police officer you would attend our accelerated Academy, (taught in-house by MPD Training Staff, non-residential, Monday-Friday, 8a-4p, with full pay and benefits provided) following the academy you would participate in a condensed field training program before moving seamlessly to a position in Patrol Services. The accelerated academy is scheduled to begin at the end of May, 2022.
The application deadline for this academy is December 13, 2021.
