The Danbury Police Department is organizing the 23rd session of its Citizen’s Police Academy.  The 11 week program is open to Danbury residents, business owners and people who work in Danbury.  The course is intended to inform people about the operations of the police department and of police procedures.  The program is not intended to make citizens into police officers, but rather to develop a working partnership between police and the community they serve. 

The interactive instruction covers a variety of topics. 

Each applicant will be subject to a criminal background investigation.  The academy will be limited to 25 participants on a first come/ first serve basis.  Applications for the Citizen Police Academy can be picked up at the Police station on Main Street.

The sessions will begin on Tuesday evening March 8th, 2016, from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm and continue every Tuesday evening thereafter from 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm until May 17th, 2016.
