Hello all,

I just want to know how much it costs it attend the Lowell Police Academy if you are a self-sponsor?

I am familiar with the requirements of self sponsorship. I just want to know the cost.

Please reply ONLY if you KNOW what it costs!!! No guessing is necessary because I can guess just as easily and if I wanted a guess, I would not have posted this.


Thanks in advance.

Damn! Who died and made you boss of this thread?

First off,

no one made me king of this thread...i just posted it. Secondly, that link tells me absolutely nothing...except a phone # which I don't want to call if I can get the same info on here.

Sorry for the tone of my post but I have been on Masscops long enough to see that people don't always reply back with the answers to your questions...in fact, they usually give you an answer that is totally irrelevant.

I don't make many posts, but the ones that I do, I would like the correct answer.

K.I.S.S. if you know what I mean....

Then why would you ask a question when you already know you'll get misinformed answers and speculations from what you seem to consider to be a bunch of incompetant nincompoops that post here regularly?

$2,300 was the cost...unfortunetly, there are no more self-sponsors allowed at the academies. You must be a full-time employee of the department that sends you now.

Thank you all for your responses. I got the info I needed, no thanks to some of you....

I heard from a buddy of mine, who heard from a cop, who heard from the janitor at the Lowell PD that they raised the cost for self-sponsors and it now costs $7, 361.48.

You are the man Mr. Self sponser, I am so sorry have not given you a certified letter stating the exact price. If you were not so lazy, you could have called the number on the link. Which is what a smart person would have done instead of trust an anonymous post on a website. If you do ever make it into an academy I would suggest less of an attitude with the......no wait on second thought, the instructors encourage you speak your mind freely, so tell them like it is.

There are currently a couple self sponsors in the LPA. No, i'm not one. The MPTC-run academies are the ones not taking self sponsors. And about the price, $2,300, plus books, a hell of a lot of gear/uniforms, etc.

Specifically, make sure you express your opinion to the Defensive Tactics instructors at Lowell, they like sharing of opinions!

That is good to hear, I know Sgt. Fleming wanted to keep accepting them. I had about six in mine, and almost all of them have gotten on full time somewhere.


And yes, I think a little meeting of the minds with Bobby and Chuck would be good for Mr. Stash

Is that the city's new slogan? I can see at the bottom of the entering Lowell signs. You could be on to something...



Posted by: usaf1199a

Yeah I think you're right.... that would look sweet on the signs. Lowell is a great city especially if you need easy access to methadone and hypodermic needles
