The next Acton Citizens Police Academy will run for 8 weeks on Wednesdays from September 6th to October 25th. Classes will be held in the afternoons from 3pm to 5pm.
This is a great opportunity to find out what your police department and dispatch center does on a daily basis. Topics will include a tour of the facility, the history and structure of the police department, patrol procedures, traffic enforcement, use of force, drug investigations, domestic violence, mental health issues, criminal investigations, juveniles and restorative justice, prosecution and criminal law, dispatch operations and more. Classes will be taught by officers specializing in each of the subject areas giving participants the opportunity to meet many members of the Acton Police Department and be able to ask questions and give feedback.
Interested parties, or those seeking more information about the program, should call 978-929-7512 or email me at rburrows@acton-ma.gov .
