Registration Open for Citizens' Police Academy

The Firestone Police Department will host a Citizens’ Police Academy this fall. This exciting, 10-week program provides a hands-on learning experience for attendees, designed to build a better understanding of law enforcement and the decisions officers make every day and to build partnerships within the community.

This Citizens’ Police Academy combines classroom presentations, demonstrations, and hands-on experiences on various topics, including: building searches, criminal law, community policing, vehicle stops, officer survival, police technology, use of force, and much more!  

Classes will be held on Tuesday evenings from 6:00 – 8:30 p.m. starting on Tuesday, September 10, and finishing with a graduation ceremony on Tuesday, November 12.  

Who Can Attend?

To qualify, applicants must live or work within the town limits of Firestone and be 18 years of age or older. Due to the sensitive nature of the access given to attendees, each applicant will undergo a criminal background check. The class will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis, with limited space. Priority will be given to applicants who have not participated in a Firestone Citizen Police Academy session. The registration deadline is Friday, August 30, 2024, at 5:00 p.m.
