Dear Chief/OIC:

The Reading Police Academy will be offering 2023 MPOETC MIST starting February 13, 2023 and running through May 11, 2023. The complete training schedule and registration forms will be available to view, print, and download at www.readingpa.gov (navigate to ‘City Departments’, ‘Police Department’, ‘Reading Police Academy’) in the coming days.
Each year the Commission establishes the tuition rate for the MIST courses offered by academies to police officers. However, in 2023, certified police academies will offer training at NO COST to Act 120 certified police officers. NON-120 officers will be charged an established rate set by MPOETC (TBD).

The course offerings for 2023 are:
23-201 Legal Update (required course) 3 hours
23-301 Tactical Communications (required course) 3 hours
23-401 Criminal Investigations (elective course) 3 hours
23-501 Officer Wellness (elective course) 3 hours

This year MPOETC developed 12hrs of In-Service training (two required and two electives). Please take note that 23-201 and 23-301 will be taught on Day 1; and 23-401 and 23-501 will be taught on Day 2. MIST instruction will take place at Upland Center, 540 Upland Avenue, RM 225.

If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact me. I can be reached direct at 610-655-6308 or by email (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).
