Southern Desert Regional Police Academy

The Southern Desert Regional Police Academy (SDRPA) is a regional / combination academy staffed and attended by over 15 different law enforcement agencies in the state of Nevada. The SDRPA is housed at a College of Southern Nevada's remote campus in Henderson.

The academy trains many agencies including, but not limited to the Community College of Southern Nevada Police Department, City of Las Vegas - Department of Public Safety, North Las Vegas Police Department, Clark County School District Police Department, UNLV Police Services, area fire marshals and arson investigators.
