To handle the addition of new agencies from northern
Virginia, the Rappahannock opened a new satellite facility in Front Royal
during August of 1999. In March of 2003, the facility moved to Middletown.
The facility coordinator is Larry Nida with administration being
handled by Alice Simmons and Ruth Furr. The satellite is a full service
agency with a full training schedule including Jail, Communications and
Law Enforcement Basic Schools and a full slate of special schools.
All agencies can use the Middletown facility but the closest are:
Berryville P.D., CFW Regional Adult Detention Center, Clarke County Sheriff's
Office, Frederick County Sheriff's Office, Front Royal P.D., Middletown
P.D., Stephens City P.D., Strasburg P.D., Warren County Sheriff's
Office, Winchester City Sheriff's Office, and the Winchester P.D.
The new academy facility is located at 2275 3rd.
Street in Middletown. (Phone 540- 868-1360) Take Route 66 to
I-81 North to the Middletown (1st.) exit. Left (South) on Rt. 11
to left on 3rd. Street.

ACADEMY SATELLITE
BUILDING
MIDDLETOWN, VA, HOME OF RRCJA SATELLITE CAMPUS
The Academy purchased a 10,746 square foot building with 11.76 acres
in Middletown, Virginia during March of 2003. The campus is
a replacement for the satellite campus in Front Royal, Virginia.
The facility is fully operational.

Academy Skid Cars
The academy skid cars are operational and is used frequently for
all our driver training sessions (both law enforcement and jail.)
They get rave reviews from all hands as an extremely valuable training
tool. High speed skids of all types as well as pursuit maneuvering
can be practiced at relatively slow and safe speeds. The cars are
trailerable and can be brought to outlying agencies upon request.
Call or e-mail Karen Deane<kdeane@rrcja.org>
The Academy has purchased a new trailer to haul the skid car. The trailer also contains traffic cones, traffic signs, an air pump, various tools and everthing needed to bring the entire Academy Driver Training program to your agency location. Call Karen Deane at (540) 371 2875 to get the ball rolling.
The Academy Firearms Training
Simulator has been upgraded to the latest technology. The system
is simpler to operate, has two system controlled weapons and many new branching
scenarios to test your decision making ability. The instructor has
greater ability to control the scenario branches based upon actions taken
by the tested officer. The system has a joy-stick controlled return
fire cannon which shoots safe foam rubber bullets at students who fail
to take the proper cover and concealment at the proper time. Click
on the above link for some photos of the new FATS.
