If you’ve been following along recently, you know this page will be disabled in the coming days. The professionals from our media team will continue sharing updates on all things MPTC through our main social media platforms.

Before we close this chapter, I wanted to take a moment to send out a THANK YOU from the Holyoke Police Academy. With each new class, we welcomed not just recruits, but a community of families, friends, and supporters. We’ve come to appreciate the encouragement, pride, and interest you’ve shown in their journey. It has never gone unnoticed.

While this page may be ending, the work continues. The MPTC Holyoke Police Academy will still be featured on our main social media pages, and I’ll still be capturing moments from the recruits’ journey to share with them and with you.

On behalf of the Staff Instructor group and myself, thank you for following along, for your support, and for being part of this experience with us.
