A police academy is a training school for new police recruits. Also known as a law enforcement academy.
United States
Police Academies exist in every state and at the federal level. Each state has specific physical and academic requirements for cadets. These requirements are public and not confidential. While some states allow open enrollment in police academies, many require cadets to be hired by a police department in order to attend. This is to prevent the dissemination of sensitive information to the public.

Larger police departments usually run their own academies. States often run a centralised academy for training of personnel of law enforcement agencies within the state.
Police academies ensure that officers meet basic local, state, and federal standards. Graduation from an approved academy program is usually required before a new police officer is placed on active duty.
