The academy will be held once a week for twelve weeks and is designed to give participants a working knowledge of police operations. During this academy, participants will experience hands-on police training and be exposed to the policies and procedures that guide officers in making their day to day decisions. Participants will be taught the basics of criminal law, patrol procedures, tactics, firearms, and many other topics. During this training, participants will have the opportunity to speak directly with patrol officers as well as the command staff of the department that serves them.
