Training

Washington Administrative Code (WAC 139-05-300) requires that every peace officer certified under RCW43.101.095 complete a minimum of twenty-four hours of in-service training annually. Washington State and the Puyallup Police Department maintain that continuing education and training is the cornerstone for a successful career as a Peace Officer in providing effective SERVICE to citizens. Puyallup Police Department employs a full-time Administrative Secretary/Training Coordinator to ensure that this mandate is met each year for our officers. This is accomplished across all divisions and through partnerships with outside vendors.
