Cape Town mayor Helen Zille has opened the city’s first Metro Police Training Academy in Observatory.

The training provided at this academy will enhance the service delivery of traffic services and law enforcement.

Some of the training courses offered include service delivery training, peace officer training and fire arm training.

Manager of Specialised Services for he City of Cape Town, Rudolf Wiltshire said the project had been running since 2005 when the Metro Police decided to have its own capacity in training. Wiltshire said these facilities were needed in Cape Town.

“We’ve upgraded our shooting range and this will give us our own capacity and our own high standard, in terms of training our members.”
