The Citizens Police Academy is designed to give the public a working knowledge and understanding of the values, goals, objectives and operations of our organization. This comprehensive instruction covers different areas routinely addressed by law enforcement. Classes are formulated to incorporate an interactive format, providing participants with a “hands-on” experience whenever practical. Additionally, citizens bring a wealth of knowledge about their community and particularly the problems in their neighborhoods. In this way, officers learn firsthand the concerns of its citizens by interacting with them in a positive, non-confrontational manner.
