Hello everyone.

Chief Sheppard will be announcing to the media that the next R.P.D. Citizen’s Police Academy (CPA) will commence on Tuesday, October 11, 2011. The CPA will run for approximately (10) consecutive Tuesdays, 6:00PM to 9:00PM.   All training will be conducted at the Public Safety Training Facility at 1190 Scottsville Rd. 

The Citizen’s Police Academy (C.P.A.) provides a broad based look at the policies, procedures and operations of the Rochester Police Department.  At its conclusion, you will be more familiar with law enforcement in our city neighborhoods and also with the training currently being provided to police recruits.  You will have opportunities to offer comments and suggestions on police procedures and the recruit academy curriculum.  

The Citizen’s Police Academy Instructors will include experienced trainers and operational personnel from several units of our organization. Upon your graduation, you will return to your community with greater knowledge and a unique perspective of the Rochester Police Department.  This increased familiarity and interaction helps to improve police-community relations, recognizing the partnership between the citizens and their police force.

If anyone would like an application I can email you one, or stop by the NSC office to pick one up, or we will have them at the next PCIC meeting.

Any questions contact Carl or myself.
