Training Academy

The Irving Police Training Academy is located at 2603 Esters Road in Irving, Texas. This 22,772 square foot facility opened its doors in 1988 for the purpose of both internal training of our personnel and for "host" training opportunities on a wide variety of topics for personnel from other departments. The facility includes a full-size gymnasium with free-weights and a separate, enclosed area containing various types of workout equipment. The indoor seven-lane pistol range for training and qualification is complemented by a separately operated state-of-the-art "Prism" shooting simulator. A large training/meeting room can accommodate groups of up to fifty persons. For "break-out" sessions or multiple use, the room can be partitioned with a retractable wall. Additionally, the Academy has three state-of-the-art classrooms with theatre style elevated seating for up to thirty-two persons each. All classroom and meeting areas have multiple electronic audio/visual amenities and connections. For those attending from other agencies there are many fine eating establishments and a variety of lodging accommodations available.
