The Tempe
Police Department is now accepting applications for the Citizen's Police Academy, meeting
every Tuesday night from 6 - 9 p.m. August 5th, 2008 - October 28th, 2008. The classes will be
held at a variety of locations throughout the semester with the first one
meeting at the
Main Tempe Police Station, 120 E. 5th Street.
A complete Academy schedule with classes, instructors, and locations will be
sent out to students in July of 2008.
There is no charge to participate in the Citizen’s Police Academy and the
classes are open to valley residents over the age of 18. (14 to 17 year olds require an
accompanying adult or guardian).
The thirteen-week program provides
citizens with an in-depth
examination of the rigors and responsibilities facing Tempe police officers. Academy attendees will participate in several
"hands-on" exercises such as going on a ride along with officers,
learning about and using firearms
on our shooting range, riding in one of our patrol vehicles in
a tactical driving class, witnessing a K-9 demonstration, and
being given the opportunity to experience the "stopping
power" of one of our Department-issued Tasers. Instruction also will be provided
on topics such as traffic law, criminal law and search and seizure.
People interested in attending the Citizen's Police Academy must complete an
application, which is available to print out above or at the Tempe Police Department lobby, 120 E. Fifth Street. Applications must have been submitted by
June 27th, 2008.
Because class size
is limited, applying early is recommended.
