Fire Police Course
The Suffolk County Fire Academy is pleased to announce that
we are now offering the new 21 hour New York State Fire
Police Course. The program consists of six sessions, five
three-hour lecture sessions and the last session, which is
held at the Fire Academy, is a six-hour session that
consists of hands-on skills testing and a written final
exam.
Initially our goal is to present this new course to those
who lack any approved training. Students must be members of
an existing Fire Police Squad or Company and must produce
satisfactory evidence of the completion of the ICS100 and
IS700 classes (copies of certificates or a letter from Chief
of Department indicating the completion date of these
courses). Certificates will not be issued without proof of
completion of ICS100 and IS700.
There will be a course held beginning September 8, 2010 at the
Centereach Fire Department. Pre-registration is required for
this course. Please call the Fire Academy at 924-6822 to
pre-register. Registration is limited to thirty-two (32)
students.
The dates for this course are as follows:

OPEN ENROLLMENT CLASSES
In an
effort to quell the rash of No Shows at Open
Enrollment Classes, the Fire Academy has instituted a
new procedure for registration for these programs. A
$25.00 registration must accompany all applications for
Open Enrollment Programs. This fee will be reimbursed
upon completion of the class. If a student fails to show
without contacting the Academy at least 48 hours prior
to the start of class or does not complete the program,
the registration fee will be forfeited
A course
confirmation letter will be sent to each student, which must
be presented on the first day of class. This letter will
only be sent after the application and registration fee has
been received. Most of our Open Enrollment Classes have
waiting lists so it is imperative that students who are
unable to attend a class notify us so we may fill their seat
from the waiting list
ALL CLASSES WILL BE HELD EXCLUSIVELY AT THE
SUFFOLK COUNTY FIRE ACADEMY
All weeknight classes
will begin at 7:00 p.m.
All Saturday and Sunday
classes will begin at 8:00 a.m.
