Applications now being accepted for 2018 Citizens Police Academy
The Raleigh Police Department is now accepting applications for the 2018
Citizens Police Academy. The program is designed to increase transparency and
enhance understanding between the community and the police. It will also
provide an excellent opportunity for participants to gain a better
understanding of the philosophy, policies, and guiding principles of law
enforcement and the ethical conduct requirements that govern police services in
our community.
Participants will meet one evening a week for ten weeks beginning April 5.
Citizens who enroll will learn about a variety of topics including constitutional
law and arrest, search and seizure, non-biased policing, investigative case
review, body-worn cameras, youth services, drug recognition, and crisis
intervention. The class will also feature reality-based training demonstrations.
Applications will be accepted beginning February 26 and will close on March 9 at
5 p.m. Enrollment is limited to citizens who are at least 21 years of age and
who live or are employed in the city of Raleigh. There is no fee for the
program; however, the Department requests that applicants be committed to
participating for its duration.
For more information, including an on-line application,
search “Citizens Police Academy” at raleighnc.gov, email
rpdcitizensacademy@raleighnc.gov, or call 919-996-1586.
