Pasadena 2018 Community Police Academy
We are currently accepting applications to attend the 2018 Community Police Academy. Classes meet on Thursday evenings from February 22nd – April 12th. Dinner is served at 5:30 pm and class runs from 6:00-9:30 pm at the Pasadena Police Department.
The Community Police Academy (CPA) is an informative, eight-week classroom series that gives an inside look at Pasadena Police operations while discussing the principles of community policing. The purpose of the class is to promote a greater awareness and better understanding of local law enforcement’s continuously changing role in the community.
Presented in a friendly, casual environment, the class covers a wide variety of subject areas including police communications, criminal law and procedures (laws of arrest), street crime enforcement/investigations, field identification, weaponless defense training, youth programs and more. The course concludes with a graduation dinner, where students receive a certificate of completion.
