Butler Tech Academy
Has anyone here attended, or know someone who has, the basic police academy at Butler Tech in Fairfield-Township, Ohio? I’m curious of what your experience was like? Also, do you think you were better off because you went to an academy before you were hired?
Thanks |

Hmm, do they say why it sucks?
Major reason I was looking there is because they have a part time night academy.

Ha, I didn't know that. I go to UC Raymond Walters right now, that would be sweet to get credit towards my degree while in the academy. Thanks for that info!
Know anyone that goes/went there?

I have a few friends who did. They say that it blew overall.
No mandatory PT, gun range and qualifying was on a Saturday and not well organized, and the academy was generally a joke.
However, I do not have first hand experience, so take that with a grain of salt.

PT IS mandatory and the qualification was done during the week. Daytime class did it in early afternoon, night time class did it around
8-12am which did suck but it had to be squeezed in.

They mustve cracked down on their standards then.
I checked with my friend, just to make sure I had my facts correct and he reiterated what I said.
I still feel like there are other, more comprehensive academies, but whatever works for you. As long as you have your OPOTA certification I don't think it matters what academy you went to.
