Municipal Police Academy

Welcome to Delaware County Community College's Municipal Police Academy, serving the community since 1977.

The Police Academy provides the basic training (Act 120) curriculum that is required for every municipal police officer in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Upon successful completion of the program, students are eligible to work as police officers in Pennsylvania.

The Academy is certified by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania through the Municipal Police Officers' Education and Training Commission in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Training is conducted at Delaware County Community College's Malin Road Center, located at 85 North Malin Road, Broomall, Pennsylvania.

In addition, we also conduct mandatory (Act 180) in-service training for current municipal police officers. This training is provided at locations across Delaware and Chester Counties.
