Training & Evaluation

At North PD, we don’t just hand you a badge — we build a capable officer. Training is not a one-time event; it’s an ongoing process to ensure every officer meets the operational and ethical standards we uphold.

Training ensures:

• You understand the legal framework, use-of-force policies, and arrest procedures.

• You are confident and capable in active patrols and emergency situations.

• You contribute to a professional, respected police presence in the city.

During your evaluation patrol, you’ll be assessed on the following:

• ✅ Correct use of cautions

• ✅ Confidence in stop & search protocol

• ✅ Safe and lawful arrest technique

• ✅ Clear radio communication

• ✅ Appropriate use of force

• ✅ Situational awareness & safety

Even after promotion, officers may undergo refresher training or re-evaluation if:

• They've been inactive for a period of time.

• A misconduct report is filed.

• They are being considered for a specialist unit or leadership role.

Every officer is expected to earn their place through skill, integrity, and consistency. Fast-tracking or skipping evaluation without approval from a DC or COMM is not permitted.
