MPD Takes Applications for Citizens Academy

Jul 6th, 2010

File Number: Mobile Police Citizens Academy

The Mobile Police Department is taking applications for the next Citizens Academy. The classes will be held one night a week from August 10th through October 19, 2010. The free classes give the public an insight into daily police work.

In each Academy, police create a mock crime scene and participants will be able to begin the investigation of the scene. The class will also participate in a tactical operation scenario and become familiar with some of the equipment and tools used for specialized operations.

The classes are taught by police officials with expertise in the given areas of instruction. All aspects of police work are covered including patrol functions, tactical operations, narcotics, youth crimes, officer training, community policing, and crime scene investigation.

Participants also have the option, on a voluntary basis, to ride with a patrol officer and visit several law enforcement facilities, including Metro Jail and Communications. In addition, they are to handle firearms at the MPD Pistol Range.

Call 208-2730 or visit www.mobilepd.org to complete an application.
