 Chesterfield County Police Department2009 Citizens Academy
The next Citizens Academy will be held at the Clover Hill Police Support Facility, 2730 Hicks Road in September. Classes will be held every Thursday from 6:30 -10 p.m. Through the Citizens Academy, you will learn about the things the Chesterfield County Police Department does to make our community a safer place to live, work and play. Students will have many opportunities to ask those often-wondered questions. The Citizens Academy is more than just a series of lectures. It includes visual presentations, question and answer sessions, tours and a variety of practical exercises you will participate in. Participants will tour department headquarters and observe communication officers handling 911 calls in the Emergency Communications Center. Students will watch a police K-9 dog search for drugs and conduct simulated felony traffic stops as well as learn about specialized units to include the bicycle and motorcycle patrols and the Emergency Response Team. Members will participate in practical exercises such as dusting for latent fingerprints and draw a crime scene diagram with the Forensics Unit. Instructors will discuss criminal and traffic law, identity theft, fraud and crime prevention. If you choose to, you can even ride along with an officer as he or she patrols his or her assigned area. The Chesterfield County Police Department believes graduates of the Citizens Academy play an important partner role in helping us ensure that Chesterfield County is the safest and most secure community of its size in the U.S. To apply, you must fill out and sign an application.
