Staff Development and Training

The Office of Staff Development and Training (SD&T) is responsible for all pre-service and in-service training needs for the entire department and is headquartered at the Training Academy in Springfield.  The mission of ST&D is to support and contribute to the mission of the department through the development of quality training in all subjects identified as necessary for carrying out the department's responsibilities. Professionalism, accountability and the highest ethical standards are emphasized.  Its duty to prepare efficient staff and help to develop strong, effective leaders requires continual review, revision and adaptation of existing curricula and the development of new training programs that address developing issues or trends.
