Mission

"Northern Arizona Regional Training Academy is dedicated to provide the highest quality of basic law enforcement training to the diverse law enforcement agencies throughout the state of Arizona, through effective instruction and leadership."

Philosophy

The basic training program is designed to introduce recruits to law enforcement work. The training provided will be demanding, as is the job of law enforcement. The experience at NARTA will challenge you mentally, physically, and academically, while at the same time, lay a foundation for advanced training. In order to assure the best possible chance of future success, attention to detail, individual responsibility, self discipline, autonomy, and teamwork, amongst other qualities will be stressed and required. The academy staff will provide a positive, professional environment for recruits so they may acquire needed knowledge, develop necessary physical skills, and become confident in their ability to become successful peace officers.
