The Alabama Criminal Justice Training Center, with a large facility and staff, has trained more peace officers than any other academy in Alabama. Experience, attention to detail, and dedication to professionalism have made it possible to provide a broad range of training opportunities to each segment of the criminal justice community. The central point of operation of the Alabama Criminal Justice Training Center is the academic center, Building 349, which houses administrative offices for the commander and staff, nine modern classrooms, and a well-equipped criminal justice library. The training center includes a defensive and pursuit driving course and firearms range. Training also is conducted at the gymnasium and physical agility course.
Housing is provided in a six-story dormitory.
The building has 120 rooms, each with a private bath and individual temperature control. Students who need to place telephone calls of a business or emergency nature may be allowed to do so by contacting a member of the administrative or instructional staff. Collect calls will not be accepted. If a student receives an emergency call, he will be notified. All areas of Craig Field not under the control of the training center are considered off-limits to students.
