Well done, Massachusetts Municipal Police Training Committee! The successful completion of the Bridge Academy marks a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to ensure uniform training standards for law enforcement statewide. The Bridge Academy was an essential element of the landmark 2020 police reform law, designed to bridge the gap between prior officer training and the new standards required for POST certification. Congratulations to the MPTC, its many program partners, and all of the participating officers!
