Citizen's Police Academy
Thank
you for expressing interest in the Citizen Police Academy, a program of the
Dickinson Police Department. The
Citizen Police Academy is a community relations program intended to promote
positive interaction between the Dickinson Police Department and the citizens
of Dickinson. Our Citizen Police
Academy class will start on February 8th through May 24th.
The program’s concept is simple, better understanding through
education.
The course of instruction is presented on Thursday night, 6:30 p.m. to
10:00 p.m., for 15 weeks at the Dickinson Police Department. The curriculum includes such things as: Patrol Procedures, Criminal Law, Crime Scene Investigation,
Firearms, Narcotics Enforcement, Crime Prevention, Police Communication,
Criminal Records Management, and more. The
instructors are Dickinson Police Officers and support personnel with expertise
in these areas.
The Citizen Police Academy is designed to be informative. While the Department encourages citizens to become active
members of our community, the Citizen Police Academy is not designed to
train citizens to become civilian volunteers or police officers.
It is believed that the citizen, upon completing this program, will
have a better knowledge and understanding of the Dickinson Police Department:
its mission, programs, personnel, and day to day workings.
Graduates of this program interested in more involvement with the
Department and the community are encouraged to join the Dickinson Citizen
police Academy Alumni Association (DCPAAA). If you are interested in applying complete the Citizen's Police Academy Admission Application. The form should be completed, printed, and signed. Mail or bring the form to: Dickinson Police Department Attn:
