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:
“The want of education and moral training is the only real barrier that exists between the different classes of men. Nature, reason, and Christianity recognize no other. Pride may say Nay; but Pride was always a liar, and a great hater of the truth.”
—Susanna Moodie (1803–1885)
“When the child is twelve, your wife buys her a splendidly silly article of clothing called a training bra. To train what? I never had a training jock. And believe me, when I played football, I could have used a training jock more than any twelve-year-old needs a training bra.”
—Bill Cosby (20th century)
“Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man’s training begins, its probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
