2/18/2010
Johns Creek residents can get an up-close look at how their police department does its job when the JCPD's Office of Community Services launches its new Citizens Police Academy, March 16.
The nine-week course provides an in-depth look at JCPD operations, how it is organized and what policies it follows in setting a high standard for community policing.
The academy meets every Tuesday night and includes classroom instruction (criminal investigations, internal affairs, narcotics, CSI, Community Services); demonstrations (K-9, SWAT, radKIDS, use of force); and practical exercises (traffic enforcement and firearms).
"We are committed to providing quality police services for the Johns Creek community and the Academy is an additional way of maintaining positive communications and mutual support between police and residents," said Sgt. Debra Kalish. "Also, it's going to be a lot of fun."
Open to all Johns Creek residents ages 21 and older who successfully pass the application process and a criminal history check, the JC Citizens Police Academy is limited to 25 people.
Download the application here or get one at JCPD Headquarters, 11445 Johns Creek Parkway. Applications must be submitted by March 4. If accepted, there is a $25 program fee.
