Police and Peace Officer Training
Introduction
In addition to providing administrative oversight for mandated police officer, peace officer and security guard training, the Office of Public Safety (OPS) also provides direct training to sworn law enforcement officers; develops new training courses and maintains existing courses; and develops nontraditional methods of instruction including teleconferences, "smart classrooms" with two way audiovisual communications, and web-based courses.

Training Notifications and Information Bulletins
The NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services is offering a statewide email directory known as Granicus.gov Delivery Communications to members of the criminal justice community of New York State. This email directory is used to alert the law enforcement community to the availability of free law enforcement training courses and materials, legal updates, and officer safety bulletins, among others.
Granicus.gov has features that promote a user friendly atmosphere. Such features are increased compatibility with newer operating systems, a cleaner and consistent manner in which the email is presented to the recipient and customization of delivery.
