Citizen's Police Academy
Unfortunately, the 13th Citizens Police Academy has been postponed. We will reconsider hosting a Citizens Police Academy next Fall (2010). Thank you for your interest.
Generally, the academy is scheduled on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 9:30 PM at the Police Department for nine weeks.
Participants will learn about the daily operations of the police department, such as patrol functions, detective operations, E911 communication and dispatch, officer safety, use of force, Special Response Team operations, ATV/Mountain bike patrol, narcotics investigations, central records, firearms licensing, sex offender management, and much more. In addition, students will have the opportunity to accompany a police officer on a ride along for a portion of a patrol shift.
Applications will be available upon final approval of the academy date.
Applicants are subject to a background check prior to being accepted.
Please direct any questions/comments to Sergeant Douglas DeCosta (email or 508-457-2527, x533).
