Frederick Police Department Offers 25th Citizen Police Academy
FREDERICK, MD - The Frederick Police Department is pleased to offer the 25th session of its Citizen Police Academy (CPA) beginning on October 3, 2018. The CPA is a 6-week program designed to give interested persons an overview of the many functions of the Frederick Police Department. Classes meet on Wednesday evenings from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. There will also be a final practical exercise/graduation day where participates will receive certificates of completion and take part in role-playing scenarios.
The CPA is designed to give participants instruction in the many aspects of modern law enforcement such as uniformed patrol, criminal investigations, undercover operations, tactical operations, and various other law enforcement functions. There are numerous interactive and hands-on segments as defensive tactics demonstration and field sobriety.
Upon completion of the program, participants will not be sworn police officers, nor be expected to perform any law enforcement functions; they will, however, have a greater understanding of the Frederick Police Department and how we can work together to make The City of Frederick a better community for everyone.
The CPA is open to anyone ages 18-years or older, and have no serious criminal history.
For more information or an enrollment form, please contact Cpl. Kacie Strong at 301-600-7503 or at kstrong@frederickmdpolice.org. Also, please check the City of Frederick website, under the Frederick Police Department, for any additional updates.
