Nashvillians keenly interested in the inner workings of their police department are cordially invited to apply for the 21st session of the Citizen Police Academy, which begins its 12-week run on April 15.
Classes will be held on Tuesday nights from 6 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. through July 1, 2008, in the community room of the Hermitage Precinct, 3701 James Kay Lane. Because class size is limited, interested persons are urged to apply immediately. The deadline for applications is April 7.
Participants will learn about the intricacies of police work through the perspective of a variety of guest speakers, including members of the police department’s specialized components. Electives, including a ride along with a police officer and basic firearm instruction, will be offered.
Each applicant should commit to attending at least ten of the twelve sessions, be a Davidson County resident, at least 21 years old and have no arrest record, excluding minor traffic violations. While completion of the course gives citizens an understanding of the workings of the police department, it does not make a participant a certified law enforcement officer, nor is it designed to train citizens to perform law enforcement duties. Applications can be completed and submitted on the Internet by logging onto http://police.nashville.org/citizen/apply.htm.
