Onondaga Community College will host the Syracuse Police Department\u2019s training academies through at least the year 2025. Campus facilities will be used to train future officers and host other police training courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Designated OCC classrooms, offices and athletic facilities will be available to the Syracuse Police Department at no cost. OCC has a similar agreement with the Onondaga County Sheriff\u2019s Department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are honored to welcome future and current members of the Syracuse Police Department to our campus so they can utilize our outstanding facilities while preparing men and women for a career in law enforcement,\u201d said OCC President Casey Crabill. \u201cBetween the Syracuse Police Department, the Onondaga County Sheriff\u2019s Office \u2013 which also trains here \u2013 our criminal justice degree program and our Central New York Police Academy, we are proud to be Central New York\u2019s partner in education for future and current members of the law enforcement community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I am proud and honored to welcome the addition of 26 new police officers to the Syracuse Police Department,” said Syracuse Chief of Police Kenton T. Buckner. \u201cI would like to thank the officers and their families for their sacrifice, as the recruits endured a strenuous 27-week academy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI would also like to extend a special thank you to the administration of Onondaga Community College. We look forward to our new partnership as we transition many of our academy activities to their facilities in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am excited to bring the Syracuse Police Department\u2019s training academies back to OCC, and I\u2019m grateful to Dr. Crabill and her team for their support,\u201d said Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh. \u201cOCC has long been known for their outstanding criminal justice degree program and having our officers on campus will present new opportunities for collaboration as we work together to train our current and future public servants in law enforcement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are thrilled to welcome the Syracuse Police Department\u2019s Training Academies to Onondaga Community College,\u201d said Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon. \u201cAlready home to training for our Sheriff\u2019s Office, this new partnership is a natural fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOCC is known for its outstanding programs in criminal justice, as well as their modern facilities that ensure that every future and current member of law enforcement will have access to the resources they need to be prepared to protect and serve our community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Dr. Crabill and her team at OCC have done an outstanding job of working closely with local law enforcement and emergency response organizations at every level in Onondaga County,” said David H. Knapp Chairman, Onondaga County Legislature. \u201cThis announcement with the Syracuse Police Department is just another example of what makes OCC a center of excellence in our county.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
