A free academy for people interested in learning more about the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Police Department begins Wednesday, Jan. 8 and continues through March 12.


The class will cover information on arrest, search and seizure; defensive tactics; lethal weapons; high-speed chase and high-risk stop; and shoot/don’t shoot decisions, among other things. There are no special requirements for taking the course, but Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµPD will screen each candidate and will reserve the right to refuse an applicant.


The Citizen Academy will meet from 3 to 5 p.m. on Wednesdays and the application deadline is Dec. 30. Only 20 students will be accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis.
