Maharashtra Police Academy is a pioneer institution in the Country with all modern training facilities available to impart proper training to different ranks of police officers. It is heartening that the Academy, also trains officers of State Forest, Excise, and Transport Departments, apart from police officers. The expectations are high. Unfortunately, very little attention is given to time-to-time physical and mental training of the police personnel. What is necessary is that they should be trained enough to become sensitive to the demands of the common man and the system of responding. Training programs aim at responsive minds that are open to new ideas. There is also a need for ethical decision-making, which will inspire the coming generation of police officers. The Maharashtra Police Academy has completed 100 years of excellence in 2007. This institution is renowned for producing tough, efficient, dynamic and emotionally intelligent officers.

Maharashtra Police Academy is dedicated to the cause of preparing leaders for the Maharashtra Police who will lead the force with courage, righteousness, sincerity and a strong will to uphold’ the law and the Constitution and serve the people. The Academy will infuse values of integrity, dedication, respect for rights of all persons, sense of justice, need for maintaining physical fitness, mental alertness at all times and a strong sense of desire to serve the community.
