Our Student Lounge has comfortable furniture, a large-screen TV with cable channels, a VCR, a DVD player and a collection of movies. Adjacent to the Student Lounge is a Game Room, where students can enjoy an old-fashioned game of billiards, or play shuffleboard or cards or chess. The dining hall is cafeteria-style and serves meals five days a week. The Academy has a full-time Food Services Manager who can accommodate any special dietary needs. The capacity of the dining hall was recently increased.
Computers are as important to law enforcement as they are to practically everyone else.
The Lab has been upgraded several times since then. Currently, we have Pentium III computers with flat-screen monitors, laser printers, an instructor station and a dedicated server. The Computer Lab is used to train in basic tasks like word processing and E-mail, as well as more specialized tasks like accident reconstruction and the use of the State Patrol's new Mobile Data Computers. The Academy also conducts or hosts training for other agencies of the Colorado Department of Public Safety, as well as for many agencies outside the Department.
