It consists of ten classes held once a week for 3 hours. The instruction is comprehensive and each week a different area of the Police Department is covered, with instruction provided by the officers and supervisors who work in that particular area. The slogan of the Citizen Police Academy is "Understanding Through Education", with it's goal of providing the citizens that attend with enough information to dispel suspicions and misconceptions and to increase rapport through an education process. The public, in turn, makes the officers more aware of it's feelings and concerns. Lastly, the students are able to personally meet and talk with different officers in the department. We hope the graduates of each Citizen Police Academy will take their new knowledge out into the community, educate others when the opportunity arises, and make decisions which affect the Police Department and the City with heightened awareness and better information.
