Danbury Police are now accepting applications for the Spring session of the Department's Citizen Police Academy. Sessions start on March 10th and will be held every Tuesday night until May 19th.  Interested participants must be at least 18 years old, and print out an application and send it in by March 3rd.  Space is limited to 26 participants.  The application authorizes the Danbury Police Department to conduct a criminal history background investigation, including convictions, pending charges and outstanding warrants.  The course is intended to teach residents about the operations of the police department and to foster enhanced understanding and cooperation between the police and the community they serve. It is not intended to make citizens into police officers but rather to heighten awareness of both the public and police in an effort to develop a partnership between both.
