What is Citizens’ Police Academy?
The Citizens’ Police Academy is a unique concept in law enforcement and community relations. The course consists of interactive classroom and “hands-on” instruction. Topics include, but are not limited to: patrol procedures, investigation skills, K-9 unit, building searches, crime prevention, and use of firearms.
As part of a continuing commitment to develop citizen awareness and understanding of the role of law enforcement, the Albany Police Department has designed an academy course for citizens of all backgrounds and occupations.
