TYLER – The Tyler Police Department cut the ribbon on its new in-house training facility on Thursday. The 10,000-square-foot facility is located on E. Commerce St. and will serve officers from across East Texas.
Training to serve and protect East Texas was on full display. Thursday, people in the community were able to see how their local heroes will continue to keep their homes and streets safe. The facility will enable Tyler PD to foster an environment that is committed to consistency in training that will lead to consistency in enforcing the law.
At the end of the month, the Tyler Academy will graduate their sixth class since 2021. In early May, the inaugural class will begin in the new facility.
