The New Milford Police Department is getting ready for the next round of the Citizens Police Academy.  Residents can sign up to attend the program, which starts September 21st.  The program provides an increased understanding of police operations and is not intended to make citizens into police officers.  It's meant to heighten awareness of both the public and police in an effort to build partnerships and open channels of communication with the community.  Residents can reserve a spot by sending an email to jtoromanides@newmilfordpolice.org  or cgautrau@newmilfordpolice.org.
