Citizens' Police Academy

To Protect, Serve, and Educate

They are on the front lines of public safety, preventing and investigating crime, protecting and aiding citizens, and ready to put their lives at risk for people they’ve never met.

The Citizens' Police Academy has a limited enrollment, and participants receive "hands on" instruction in crime scene investigation, patrol procedures, firearms training and much more.
