Join SCPD Citizen's Police Academy Begins January 24th, 2017

2017 starts our 20th year presenting CPA! Thank you to everyone who has participated in this and previous Citizens Police Academies.

The next session of the extremely popular Citizen Police Academies are begin January 24, 2017. SCPD offers one academy in English and one in Spanish. The classes provide an inside look at the department and offer participants an opportunity to learn about how police investigations work, what traffic unit does, demos from the K9 program and even driving a police car.

It is a hands-on program taught by a number of officers in the department. If you've never done a class like this it provides a look at your local police that most haven't seen.

SCPD has been proud to offer CPA to our community since 1998. The CPA provides an up close and personal look at police work and SCPD. Participants are encouraged to ask questions, discuss issues, and perform some of the task that SCPD Officers do as part of their regular duties.

Register now for  the Citizen's Police Academy starting on January 24th, 2017,  Contact Officer Leo Gomez at lgomez@cityofsantacruz.com to sign up.

Community members spend 11 weeks learning all about SCPD through a dynamic mix of presentations and hands-on activities. The next session of CPA runs from January 24, 2017 to May 2, 2017.
