BOONE CITIZEN’S POLICE ACADEMY 2012
The annual Citizen Police Academy sponsored by the Boone Police Department starts on February 23rd, 2012. The classes will be held on Thursday nights from 6pm to 9pm from Feb 23rd to April 12th, 2012. It is essential to attend as many sessions as possible to get the maximum value from the program.
The Citizen’s Police Academy (CPA) is not training of any sort, despite the name. It is designed primarily for the community to understand better how their police function -- from basic patrol to firearms issues to crime scene investigation. It is an overview and a chance to ask questions of law enforcement. One of the keys to a successful CPA is the ride-alongs. While you are attending CPA, you are encouraged to schedule ride-alongs with our officers to see how what was talked about in class translates to the street.
The basic requirement is attendance -- there is no charge, we feed you and provide beverages, and any equipment. We would prefer NO criminal history, but we can make exceptions, based on the value you would bring to the CPA. What we really want from you is your willingness to participate, your particular thoughts on law enforcement and an open mind to ours.
APPLICATIONS CAN BE OBTAINED AT THE BOONE POLICE DEPARTMENT, BOONE LIBRARY, BOONE CITY HALL AND HERE OR EMAIL CHIEF SKARE AT bskare@city.boone.ia.us.
APPLICATION DEADLINE IS 4PM February 3rd, 2012.
