Forty-six persons from neighborhoods throughout Nashville will graduate tonight from the 20th session of the Metropolitan Police Department’s Citizen Police Academy.
Mayor Purcell and Chief Serpas will be on hand to congratulate the graduates. The ceremony begins at 6 p.m. in the community room of the Hermitage Precinct.
The 46 graduates have spent the past eleven weeks learning about the inner-workings of the police department. Topics included gang enforcement, community policing, drug & prostitution enforcement, officer survival/use of force, traffic & DUI enforcement, workplace violence, and the judicial process. The class also toured the Emergency Communications Center and visited the police department’s gun range, where they had the opportunity to shoot real firearms.
Including tonight’s graduates, 878 persons have completed the police department’s Citizen Police Academy since it began in 1995.
Media representatives are welcome to attend tonight’s ceremony.
