The first Citizens’ Police Academy since 2008 kicked-off Wednesday evening, March 19th. The 22 participants received an overview of the 8-week course, a department tour, and short presentations from the department bureaus – Field Services, Investigative Services, and Professional Standards/Community Services. The participants also learned that alongside presentations and demonstrations by LCPD members, they will have the opportunity for several hands-on experiences including:
