Our mission is to instruct the members of the New York City Police Department (N.Y.P.D.) on the proper operation and usage of both stand-alone and online applications.  This support is provided through a combination of classroom instruction; the development and distribution of training material, and, in-person and telephone assistance.  As one of the front line disseminators of computer instruction, our goal is to create a learning environment that is professional and geared toward the specific learning needs of our students. 

      The Computer Training Unit plays an integral part in the rollout of new software applications.  Since 2005, the unit assisted with the conversion of several paper forms to its more streamlined and efficient computer alternative.  Forms that have been recently converted include Complaint Follow-up (Blue DD5), Uniform Performance Evaluation (rank of lieutenant and below), Recent Performance Evaluation, UF 250 Stop, Question and Frisk, and the Department Vehicle Accident Report.  Thousands of members of the service have participated in these classes.

      Training classes are open to both uniform and civilian members of the service, and students come from patrol and administrative commands.  The unit also provides training for promotional classes such as Lieutenants and Sergeants, Executive Development (Captains and above) and computer classes for new hires (Recruits and Police Administrative Aides).
