College Point Police Academy
The Bloomberg administration has announced plans to consolidate the New York City Police Academy on a new campus in College Point, Queens at the present site of the city’s largest auto pound. The new campus will occupy a lot bounded by College Point Boulevard, 28th Avenue, 31st Avenue and Ulmer Street in a largely industrial area near Shea Stadium. The yet to be designed complex will include an elaborate firing range, a 12-acre field for emergency-vehicle training, a 450,000 square-foot physical training area, 250 wireless classrooms, a 100,000 square-foot “tactical village” with a subway car and mock street scenes, and 250 beds for visiting law enforcement agencies. The administration has allocated $1 billion in the capital budget for the campus and expects construction to begin in the fall of 2009, after the completion of the city’s land use review process. When completed, the complex will replace the crumbling Academy on East 20th Street, between Second and Third Avenues, the firing range at Rodman’s Neck in the Bronx, and the vehicle training facility at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn.

The New York City Police Department (NYPD) and the Department of Design and Construction (DDC) have selected Perkins+Will Architects to design the new police academy campus to be built in College Point, Queens. The 35-acre site, once the City’s largest auto pound, will contain a main classroom building with 250 wireless classrooms, accommodations for visiting lecturers and other law enforcement agencies, a police museum, and indoor and outdoor facilities for firearm, tactical and other training. The new campus will consolidate and replace inadequate and outdated facilities in Manhattan and the Bronx.

Monday, June 11, 2007 | New York Daily News | Topic: Politics & Government
New York City has released its “wish list” for the NYPD’s new police academy, to be built in College Point, Queens. The $1 billion academy is to be built on a 35-acre site, and will replace the aging academy on East 20th Street in Manhattan. The new academy will include an 115,000 square-foot tactical training arena that contains a replica of a subway station, a bodega, and a bank.
Queens Community Board 7 Considered New Police Academy
Wednesday, April 18, 2007 | Queens Gazette | Topic: Land Use
The city must follow proper ULURP (Uniform Land Use Review Procedure) before it can prepare construction for a new police academy in College Points, Queens that will cost in upwards of $1 billion and begin building in 2009. To do this the city first consulted with Queen’s Community Board 7 on possible sites for the 30 acre facility. Discussions between the police academy site selection committee and the community board produced the auto tow pound in College Point as the best location. In choosing the tow pound as a site, the board focused on the projected traffic impact of the new academy.
Residents of City Island Looking Forward to Quieter Times with New Police Academy
Saturday, April 07, 2007 | New York Times | Topic: General
Residents of City Island are particularly excited to hear about Bloomberg’s plan to build a new police academy, including firing range, in College Point, Queens. City Island is located directly across from the peninsula which the New York Police Department has used for training, much of it involving target practice or explosives since 1959. When the new Police Academy is built in Queens, City Island residents will not longer be constantly bombarded by the noise from the firing range. However, it will take several years to build the new academy.
Police Academy Leaving Grammercy Park for Queens
Friday, April 06, 2007 | New York Times | Topic: General
In service since 1964, the Police Academy near Gramercy Park is no longer able to handle the training needs and size of the New York Police Department. A new plan has been proposed to consolidate facilities and add high-technology training features in a new Police Academy campus in College Point, Queens. Plans for the new campus are not complete, but the current budget is being estimated at $1 billion, with construction expected to begin in 2009. The College Point site was chosen because of the large amount of land available, access to public transportation, and low chance of disruption to the surrounding industrial neighborhood.
High Cost Police Academy Coming to Queens
Friday, April 06, 2007 | New York Post | Topic: Land Use
Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly announced plans for a technologically advanced $1 billion police academy in the College Point area of Queens that will feature a 30 acre campus, in addition to 250 classrooms, athletic training facilities, and a subway station that simulates potential terror attacks. The announcement was met with much praise from public leaders, including the Queens Borough President and local members of the city council, as well as the larger community. Near total consensus exists about the inadequate state of the current police academy on East 20th Street in Manhattan, which has first opened in 1964. While the plans are certainly pleasing to most observers, some are concerned that the project's price tag will complicate its quick approval by the city council.
