About the Community Police Academy
The Community Academy is a nine-week Law Enforcement Education program that provides an accurate look at police work and the criminal justice system.
Although academy students receive instruction and training in numerous police-related subjects, the graduates are not prepared for, expected to, nor authorized to conduct any police services.
Positive comments from alumni increase interest in the academy. Alumni also refer other citizens for consideration and application to future academy classes.
