Approximately 96% of HPD's annual budget goes to pay officers and other department personnel.

10 Help Fund A Safer Tomorrow Revolutionize TrainingConceived some 25 years ago, The Police Training Facility (Tactical Village or PTF) is a 40,000 square foot, self-contained town built inside a structure that resembles a small aircraft hangar. With dimensions of 215 feet by 145 feet, the PTF contains standard width roads, a bank, residences, an office/school building and, of course, a doughnut shop. Being self-contained, trainers can adjust for weather and lighting conditions to conduct training at any hour of the day and any time of the year. The PTF will have large overhead doors allowing other parts of the Police Academy grounds to be integrated into the training as well as permitting vehicles of all sizes, from patrol cars to large SWAT vehicles to enter and exit. Catwalks above the interior buildings are used to monitor the training, the PTF will be wired for sound and audio so that videos of the officers’ training sessions can be immediately reviewed and critiqued in one of two classrooms that are contained in the administrative section of the building.

12 Community Outreach Although principally a facility for the training of recruits and police officers, portions of the PTF, including the classrooms, will be utilized for community engagement programs to reduce the social distance between the officers and the communities they serve. Some of those community engagement programs include: HPD Explorers Program Citizen’s Police Academy Positive Interaction Program
