New York State Court Officers undergo a fourteen-week training course at one of two New York State Court Officer academies which are located in New York City and Cohoes, N.Y. The training course includes training in criminal and civil procedure law, police science, powers of a peace officer, basic firearms training, defensive tactics, radio use, arrest procedures, gang intelligence, and first aid/CPR.
The New York State Court Officers Academy was founded by Chief Thomas R. Hennessy (Ret.) in 1971.

Famous quotes containing the word training:
“At present I feel like a caged animal, bound up by the luxury, comfort and respectability of my position. I can’t get the training that I want without neglecting my duty.”
—Beatrice Potter Webb (1858–1943)
“... the time will come when no servant will be hired without a diploma from some training school, and a girl will as much expect to fit herself for house-maid or cook, as for dressmaker or any trade.”
—Lydia Hoyt Farmer (1842–1903)
“I’m not suggesting that all men are beautiful, vulnerable boys, but we all started out that way. What happened to us? How did we become monsters of feminist nightmares? The answer, of course, is that we underwent a careful and deliberate process of gender training, sometimes brutal, always dehumanizing, cutting away large chunks of ourselves. Little girls went through something similarly crippling. If the gender training was successful, we each ended up being half a person.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
