NYPD Academy Defensive Tactics/Boxing/etc.

[Back to NYC]

How intensive is the NYPD's defensive tactics training during academy? Does it receive a lot of attention and hours, or is it just another class you take? Does the NYPD use a particular style/"system"? Oh, and do they still box in academy? Just curious. Details, please? :)

they still box and wrestle but it's like 1-2 days, the tactics is part of gym which is divided into 2 parts in a 1 1/2 hr block. Calisthenics and tactics... you work out first then you do tactics... and it's everyday... just about.

So "gym" is only 1.5 hours a day?? 45 minutes of calisthenics and 45 minutes of tactics?
