proficiency in foundational police subjects. To establish and earn the public’s trust, officers must live by the
highest ethical standards and therefore it is our mission to provide an environment that stresses integrity and
strong morals.

In that police officers are community leaders it is part of our mission to provide the training and skills
necessary to facilitate community growth, develop leadership/followership abilities, and reinforce positive
values.

potential in each of us. In creating this environment, the goal of the Vermont Police Academy is to produce a
