For Citizen Police Academy
February 1, 2010
RSVP is now taking applications for the 8th annual “Citizen Police Academy Class”. The class will meet each Wednesday from 8am to 12 noon, beginning March 17th and ending Wednesday, May 12th. The academy is sponsored by the Marshall County District Attorney’s Office and the Marshall County Retired and Senior Volunteer Program. Over 40 speakers make this year’s academy a truly educational event. There is no age limit for attendance and you do not have to belong to RSVP to attend the Academy.
Speakers will include all local police departments’ chiefs, the Marshall County Sheriff Department, Marshall County judges, the Drug Enforcement Unit, Juvenile Services, Albertville Police K-9 and Special Service Unit, State Troopers, Marine Police, Game Wardens and much, much more.
Upon completion of the program men and women academy members will receive a diploma and most important they will have experienced firsthand the activities to which police officers routinely are exposed, and will understand how the court system works and what it takes to make the system work.
Due to the sensitivity and confidential nature of the law enforcement agencies, applicants must consent to a criminal history background check. If you are interested in this once in a lifetime experience, please call 571-7734 at RSVP. Don’t wait until it fills up, call or come by and signup today.
