James J. Rowley Training Center
Summary
The James J. Rowley Training Center (JJRTC, RTC, or Secret Service Training Academy) is the law enforcement training center operated by the United States Secret Service just outside Washington, D.C., in Laurel, Maryland. It is named after former director James Joseph Rowley.
The site is adjacent to the Henry A. Wallace Beltsville Agricultural Research Center and the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center. Additionally, the site is located 3,000 meters from Snowden Pond located at the aforementioned agricultural research center. For Secret Service special agents, the training focuses on Secret Service policies and procedures associated with the dual responsibilities of investigations and protection. Trainees are provided with basic knowledge and advanced application training in combating counterfeiting, access device fraud and other financial criminal activity, protective intelligence investigations, physical protection techniques, protective advances and emergency medicine. The core curriculum is augmented with extensive training in marksmanship, control tactics, water survival skills and physical fitness.
For Secret Service officers, training focuses on coursework in police procedures, firearms, physical fitness, psychology, police-community relations, criminal law, first aid, laws of arrest, search and seizure, physical defense techniques, diplomatic immunity, international treaties and protocol. On-the-job training and advanced in-service training programs are used along with classroom studies.
Secret Service agents and officers receive training throughout their careers. In part, this training consists of regular firearms re-qualification and emergency medicine refresher courses. Agents assigned to protective assignments also participate in crisis training simulations that present agents with a variety of "real world" emergency situations. Agents assigned to offices in the field are able to acquire advanced training in the area of criminal investigations and to attend training sessions sponsored by other law enforcement agencies.
