I was watching the news this morning and found out the Marlboro Psychiatric Hospital is now a NJ State Police training facility. From the News 12 website:
(03/23/06) MARLBORO – Eighteen New Jersey state troopers wrapped up an intense, three-day advanced firearms course in Marlboro Thursday.
The training took place at an abandoned psychiatric hospital on County Road 520. Although real bullets weren’t used, the officers did fire ammunition similar to paintballs. Some of the simulations officers dealt with included a suspicious traffic stop and an investigation into possible shots fired at a scene.
Officers say the simulations were the most realistic training exercises available. According to instructors, the intense training could ultimately save lives if an officer is presented with a dangerous situation.
