Police Department | Citizens Academy
Volunteer Program | Citizens Academy Ambassadors | Reserve Officer ProgramCitizens attending will be exposed to the problems and challenges faced by law enforcement and learn how their police department meets those challenges. Participants will learn about various aspects of the Police Department including the Uniform and Investigative Divisions, narcotics enforcement, bomb disposal, crime scene investigation, school programs and much more!
The fall classes are held one Thursday evening a week (September 9th - December 2nd) and there is also an optional eight-hour Saturday session covering emergency driving and use of force (shoot/don't shoot), which will give the participants a "hands-on" experience in these areas. Participants will graduate with a certificate of attendance.
