The Training Unit also provides opportunities for our
citizen to become familiar with the day-to-day operations of the Police Department. The Training
Unit accomplishes this task through our Citizens Academy
and our Teen Citizens Academy. Students are
exposed to the many different units throughout the
department and their functions. Students are also
given the opportunity to ride the street with a beat
officer to see what it feels like to respond to a call
for service. Click on the banners below for more
information on these opportunities.
