SLCPD Training Unit Citizen’s Academy

 

The Salt Lake City Police Department is sponsoring an opportunity for the residents of the community to become closely acquainted with how the police department functions. The Salt Lake Police Citizen’s Academy draws the police and the community closer together in a setting that brings the essence of police training to each participant.

 

During the twelve week academy, citizen members will receive two hours of training one evening every other week in the varied aspects of law enforcement. They will experience firsthand some of the inside workings of the Police Department. Participants will be taught the basics of patrol tactics, defensive tactics, firearms, and many other subjects. Academy members will meet and talk with many of the members of the department that serve them. All this takes place in a safe and entertaining training environment.

 

Citizen Academy instructors are all law enforcement professionals, who teach both veteran and recruit police officers. Participants will obtain a deeper understanding of the Police Department’s function with an increased awareness of community partnership opportunities.

 

Citizen academy students are selected through an application process. Interested applicants should visit our website: www.ci.slc.ut.us/police fill out and email the application form to Yvette.Zayas@slcgov.com or fax the application to

1-801-799-4311. Enrollment is limited to approximately twenty-five participants per session.

 

Chief Chris Burbank encourages the citizens of Salt Lake City to become involved in this program. The deadline for receipt of applications is June 3, and the next Citizen’s Academy will start on June 10, 2008 from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M.
