The Advanced/In-Service training division of the Macomb Criminal Justice Training Center offers the Tactical Training Academy to prepare selected sworn police personnel with additional skills and training necessary to handle those high risk situations best left to the specialists. From search warrant execution to high risk entry teams, the Tactical Training Academy emphasizes teamwork among department members. Training is provided to department members in all aspects of tactical operations; command, containment, deployment, negotiations, sniper and entry techniques.
As part of our commitment to the community, the Tactical Training Academy hosts an annual multi-jurisdictional tactical scenario providing tactical teams from Macomb and surrounding counties the opportunity to work together to resolve a real life dilemma.
Current course offerings include:
- Basic Tactical Officer

Additional programs can be developed to meet department needs.
