The New Hampshire Police Standards and Training Council, responsible for state certification and training of all police and state correctional and probation/parole officers in New Hampshire, is located across the street from the Sweeney Hall, just outside the NHTI campus facilities. Students will oftentimes see these cadets training on campus and are asked to not interfere with this training.
Among the programs conducted by Police Standards and Training is the New Hampshire Police Academy, a residential 12-week paramilitary training program that uses some NHTI facilities, including the Capital Commons Dining Hall and the Dr. Goldie Crocker Wellness Center. The program's recruits have been hired as police officers by a state agency or municipality and attend this program to achieve certification and the right to serve as an officer.
