The Chattanooga Police Department’s Office of Community Outreach is once again holding its Citizens’ Police Academy beginning Aug. 28. This is an eight week course that gives citizens a glimpse into how the police department does its job.
Instructors from the Police Department teach each class one night a week, covering a variety of topics including narcotics, homicide investigation, patrol, and the SWAT team. In addition to learning about the police department, it’s a chance to meet people from all the communities that make up Chattanooga.
To sign up for the Chattanooga Police Department’s Citizens’ Police Academy, contact Officer Wayne Jefferson at 643-5090 or jefferson_wa@chattanooga.gov.
There are 35 spots available for the class. All applications must be returned to the Office of Community Outreach no later than Aug. 14.
