Testimonials

I took the patrol rifle class last year and it was great. This year, two of my co-workers attended and said the class was great and the instructors were amazing! Thanks for the great work.

Bay Constable, Town of Babylon

I have benefitted greatly from the firearms class and training I received through the Delhi P.D. Training Program. I am the pastor of a local church, and as we know, not even a church is immune to violence. If I was needed to use a firearm to defend myself or others in an active shooter situation, I wanted to be educated and trained, which is what has occurred since I took a firearms safety class last July. The one on one training has been exceptional and I am so grateful for those professionals who teach and guide us in the proper and safe ways of handling and discharging a firearm. Thank you so much, Captain Small and all of the other instructors and assistants for donating your time to this important endeavor.

Rev. Dr. Lisa Ruth Mays

Thank you for all the great training given to me over the years. Although I was a National Rifle Association (NRA) Law Enforcement Officer, I was amazed at what I learned attending your classes. I recommend them to anyone who wants to become an instructor, or who just wants to learn more about firearms.

Keith Evans
Retired NYRA Police Officer

I have attended multiple training classes with the Delhi Police Department, including Firearms Instructors, Patrol Rifle Operator, Advanced Patrol Rifle, Aerosol Suspect Restraint and Instructor Evaluator. The highest level of training by outstanding professionals is provided in the safest environment possible and it is adhered to at all times.

Our team members had a blast at the recent Active Shooter training April 29th! I learned so much and was very impressed with how well our team did with the instruction they were given. I can’t say how much we learned and how this class benefited our team. All of your instructors are very knowledgable. Thanks for all you do.

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff for the excellent initial firearms class you ran that I was able to attend. This class allowed me to become employed as an armed peace officer with the Onondaga Park Rangers. Without your help this would not have become a reality for my career. So, again thank you for a great training class and assisting me with obtaining this certification.

The courses that the Delhi Police Department Training Division offers are some of the best I have attended with the best instructors in our area. The time, effort and preparation taken by all of the staff truly shines through in the course.

Adam Francis
Village of Oxford Police Department

The courses I have taken with DPD were relevant to modern policing practices, informative, and professionally delivered. Training staff linked legal aspects with practical application to provide a comprehensive understanding of technique and practice. For many agencies downstate New York, it is near impossible to find specific training outside annual inservice . DPD has been welcoming and consistent in providing quality courses to support law enforcement of all disciplines from various communities.
