Police Citizens Academy 

The Charleston Police Department (CPD) would like to extend an invitation for you or someone you know to attend an 8-week Police Citizens Academy! Once a week, citizens are invited to 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, Luther Reynolds, 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 Spring 2023 application window is now CLOSED
