26 | 01940 ACADEMY, continued from page 24 Classes typically run until between 3 p.m. and 4:30 p.m., Dillon said. Dillon gave all the credit for the new Lynnfield academy to MPTC Interim Executive Director Bob Ferullo, who he said really had a vision for how a former gym could become a state-of-the-art police training facility. “The recruits respect the fact of what Bob's doing, which he's done a tremendous job trying to go through the Commonwealth and trying to upgrade all these police academies, which is just a tremendous effort,” Dillon said. The new academy has drawn rave reviews from local police chiefs, who noted the fact that the new facility provides free training. "Normally it would cost $600 per person to the department, but now it's free," said Lynnfield Police Chief Nick Secatore. "All of our staff now has access to that training when we used to have only one. We are going to take advantage of every class we can. As a small department, we don't have unlimited budget or access, so this is huge for us. Our plan is to send every staff member of all ranks to training." Peabody Police Chief Thomas Griffin said the state is fortunate to have Ferullo as executive director of MPTC. "His vision is to have the academy running at different stages all at the same time so you can start the academy every two months instead of having to wait," Griffin said. "Going to Haverhill isn't a bad ride considering we used to have to go to Boylston, but being able to go to Lynnfield right next door is big for us." Griffin said the new facility is an upgrade from the former academy at Camp Curtis Guild in Reading. "The Reading Academy was basically held in the barracks, which is lacking in classroom space," he said. "In Lynnfield, we will have everything like the gym facility and equipment and the pool for training. Bob brought training into the 21st century to the point where we are miles ahead of where we were due to his hard work." Secatore said the academy is already conducting in-service training sessions for current officers and he expects the location will result in fewer disruptions to the staff. "It's a great location not just for our department and it's a real training facility for the northeast," he said. "In the past, when our staff would be at training, we had travel issues and it really handcuffed us at times staff-wise.” 40 Saugus Police Sgt. Alex Klimarchuk, left, and Chelmsford Police Sgt.
