Murfreesboro Police Department will start the 19th Citizens Police Academy class on Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2009.
The session will be held on Tuesday nights from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. for 12 weeks. The academy will be held in the Police Annex training room located at 324 South Church St. For those not able to participate in January, the Police Department will host the 20th academy class in September 2009.
The academy is designed to educate citizens of the various services a police officer is trained for and how those services are offered to the public.
There will be a variety of topics and hands-on exercises covered in the academy which are as follows: ASP Baton, OC Spray, & Handcuffing Tactics, Communications, Cultural Diversity, Criminal Investigation, D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) Program, Domestic Violence, Field Training Evaluation Program, Firearms & Safety, Information Systems, Internal Affairs, K-9, Officer Survival, Public Relations, Ride-Along Program, Special Operations Unit, Tours of the Police Department and a Precinct, Traffic, Uniformed Division, Vice & Narcotics, and Special Presentations from the District Attorney’s Office, Public Defenders Office, and the Judicial Courts. The academy is not meant to train or certify participants as police officers.
The Department is currently taking applications for this class session. A background investigation must be completed before candidates are accepted to attend, therefore applications must be turned in by Friday January 9, 2009.
Police would request that you not enclose the $50.00 enrollment fee until you have been approved to attend the academy.
