The Annandale Training Center was built specifically for the professional training of law enforcement and other safety personnel. We do not allow recreational or other use of these facilities. The training center provides plenty of flexibility for use by both firefighters and law enforcement officers. The City employs certified personnel to provide top quality training at our facilities as well as contracting out to other certified training groups who have state and national recognition.
Our training programs allow you to choose from one day or multi-day sessions. It is our goal to provide practical and realistic training, but we also recognize the importance of providing some fun and relaxation, and provide the opportunity to network with other professionals in your field. We are dedicated to providing the best training facility in the area at a cost which is affordable for every agency. Your agency may rent the facility and provide your own certified trainer or you can register for one of our courses offered through another certified training group.
