Once a week for 8 weeks, citizens attend a 2-hour class that has been specifically designed to educate and increase the public’s understanding of police policies and practices. Instructors will include the Chief of Police and a variety of CPD commanders and officers throughout the department.

If you or someone you know is interested, please contact the Community Outreach Office by emailing Mrs. LaQuilla Smalls. No background checks will be completed without a follow-up confirmation email or phone call.   

The application process for the Fall 2023 Police Citizens Academy is CLOSED! Check back for the Spring 2024 application!
