The Florissant Police are seeking applications for a Citizen Police Academy that had been scheduled is begin May 5th, 2010.
The Citizen Academy is an 8-week educational, citizen involvement activity designed by the Police Department as part of their C.O.P.S. Program. The goal of this class is to promote understanding between citizens and police officers regarding their respective needs and concerns. By promoting this understanding it is hoped that citizens and police will work better together.
This is a unique opportunity for citizens to experience a taste of police training through classroom participation. Some areas of training include constitutional law, patrol procedures, firearms training (by use of the shooting simulator), gangs and gang activity, narcotics, self-defense, and etc. Role-playing is done to emphasize the training.
We are taking reservations for the Citizen Academy class The Academy is open to residents age 18 and over who complete the application process. A record check will be completed on each applicant. There is no cost to attend.
Anyone interested in attending this class or future classes can obtain an application;
