Training

The Training Unit is responsible for facilitating the police department's training efforts. This unit also maintains training records and files for each officer, coordinates training outside the department for officers, and distributes training materials to department members.

Malden police officers attend in-service training through the Municipal Police Training Committee. Police officers in Massachusetts are required to attend at least 40 hours of in-service training each year.  Officers receive updated information and instruction in a wide variety of subjects.
