Spaces Still Available For Citizens Police Academy
Learn about the inner workings of the Simsbury Police Department.
Residents have an unique opportunity to get to know the Simsbury Police Department and share their questions and concerns, by participating in the eleventh annual Citizens’ Police Academy. The academy begins on Feb. 15 and has a few spaces still available to interested residents.
The Citizens’ Police Academy is designed to enhance awareness
and allow citizens to participate with their police officers. The Department
will obtain feedback and use the ideas gathered during these sessions to make the department more responsive to the community’s needs.
This is your opportunity to interact with your department and
share ideas with the officers who serve your community.
Some of the subjects that will be discussed during the ten
(10) week Academy are: Arrest Procedures, Accident Investigations, Use of Force, Firearms, Emergency Services Teams, Drug Enforcement Investigations, Crime Scene Investigations and Motor Vehicle Laws.
Classes will be evenings from 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm and will be held on
Wednesday evenings at the Simsbury Police Department.
