A little of column A and a little of column B. Most of those I've talked with who have experienced both will tell you they are pretty equal. The military has been training far longer than any police academy, and most police academy training (the physical and weapons training) is based on a military model though.
Police Training usually lasts 6-8 months in the academy. Or did you mean something else?
If you are employed by a police agency they will customarily pay your starting salary AND send you through police training academy at their expense. FOr larger departments these are usually 'in-house' training facilities.

More information about a police academy may be obtained by contacting local police departments. Local police departments will have information about training requirements.
Yes it is called police academy
No, Discharged members of the military are required to attend the same police academy classes as civilians in training. The difference might be in testing scores. A military member has experience working as apart of a team, with firearms, and taking and carrying out instructions.
