CITYWIDE — MAYOR ERIC ADAMS announced on Friday that NYC will be building a new building on the current NYPD Academy campus that will become a shared training space for all 16 of the city’s public safety agencies. Construction of the new Public Safety Academy facility is expected to begin in early 2026 with a completion date expected for early 2030, Adams said at a public safety promotion ceremony in Queens. Funding for the new facility will include $225 million approved in 2021 to build a new training facility for the DOC on the NYPD Academy campus.
“Today’s announcement to build New York City’s first-ever public safety academy campus will not only meet the needs of every agency that helps deliver on our promise of public safety, but also enhance our ability to protect all New Yorkers and visitors to our city,” Adams said in a statement.
