Last Chance: Citizens Police Academy
May 1 will be the final day for submitting applications to the program.
The DeKalb County Police Department is seeking applicants to fill its June 2011 Citizens Academy. The academy is a free 10-week course that allows the community to gain an inside perspective about law enforcement. During the sessions, personnel from various units including patrol officers, detectives and crime prevention will teach participants about the complexities and operational structure of their perspective units.
It is the Citizen Police Academy's aim that the course will give citizens an insider’s view of law enforcement. Ultimately, this new found insight will assist in building and nurturing stronger relationships between the community and the DeKalb County Police Force.
