    In 2011, we launched the PoliceOne Academy in response to requests from agencies that had an urgent need for a cost effective online training solution that’s comprehensive in scope, tracks accreditation, provides expert content across a wide range of topics and engages the next generation of officers.

    Law enforcement requires a broad level of awareness and continuous training beyond basic peace officer certification requirements. This training need makes it essential to establish a wide variety of industry experts and PoliceOne provides access to hundreds of experts with knowledge in all areas of training ranging from active shooter to gangs and narcotics enforcement, to leadership and communications. We address a very specific training need for the law enforcement community which is instant access to training for any and all law enforcement agencies whether they are in metro or rural areas. With the constraints on training budgets across the country, affordable access to instant training solves a nationwide problem.
