POLICE ACADEMY

In 1925 separate units such as the School of Equitation and the School of Detectives were merged into a formal Police Academy. The motto "Enter to Learn, Go Forth to Serve" was adopted, and is still used today. Police Commissioner Joseph Warren changed the name of the Police Academy to "The Police College" in 1928, and in 1934 it became once again "Police Academy." By 1974 the curriculum was accredited by the State University of New York. A Master's degree program was established in cooperation with the New York Institute of Technology in 1986.
