| What is the Citizen's
Police Academy?
Twice a year a group of citizens is selected to attend
a 3-hour session, once a week for 12-weeks. Many of the sessions involve
"hands-on" activities for the attendees, including a Saturday morning
on the firing range. These citizens will also have an opportunity to ride
with a police officer during a tour of duty. |

You
must be 21 or older. Because of the sensitive nature of some program
topics, applicants will be subject to a criminal and warrant background
search. This information will not be used for any other
purpose or shared with any other persons or entity. |

No... this program is designed to share information
on department activities that provides an understanding that will lead to a
community-wide proactive stance against crime. |
