What kind of training does the U.S. Mint Police receive?
U.S. Mint Police Officers undergo comprehensive classroom and field training exercises. Providing our officers with the skills necessary to meet the challenges of their daily assignments is a primary concern of our training staff. Training begins at full pay with ten (10) weeks of intensive training in such areas as police procedures, psychology, criminal law, laws of arrest, search and seizure, and physical defense techniques at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Glynco, GA. After graduation from the FLETC, recruits return to their field facility for five (5) weeks of additional training. They are assigned to a field-training officer, and continue to develop their skills through on-the-job experience and continual in-service training. Some of the various areas stressed throughout an officer’s career include professionalism, public relations, firearm proficiency, and physical fitness.
