Recent New Hire
Four most recently hired Public Safety Recruits completed their first phase of their training at the South Bay Regional Police Academy at Evergreen. Just over 23 weeks ago, we dropped them off for their first day of training for their "dream job." Dream jobs don't come easy, our Recruits competed against more than 300 applicants in their quest. Our philosophy - we only hire the best!  These Recruits completed more than 900 hours of instruction that included oral and written testing, real time interactive scenario testing, physical skills training and testing. Out of 46 Recruits, ours finished at the top of their class.  Their average overall score was 95% in all phases of testing. 

This group will stay together and begin their work on the streets alongside a training officer who acts as their coach and mentor.  This phase of training will last about 14 weeks, then off to a regional Fire Academy to learn basic firefighting skills and to be certified as Emergency Medical Technicians -15 weeks in all.

The amount and intensity of training our officers receive prepare them well to serve the community. Our goal is to produce the best trained, most confident, and skilled officers who will enjoy a long career here at Sunnyvale Public Safety.
