Open to all citizens of Baltimore County

Citizens’ Police Academy

The Citizens’ Police Academy’s primary objective is to afford an opportunity for community, business and religious leaders to become informed and educated about the many aspects of police work. The Academy is designed to give the attendees exposure as to why police respond to various situations in a particular way and how they ultimately handle those situations.

We believe the academy experience will be a pleasant introduction to the role of policing and its role in society. The ultimate goal of the Citizens’ Police Academy is to foster relationships between law enforcement, communities and businesses. We hope to create an alliance that leaves us with voices in the community to act as ambassadors to build solid partnerships, creating a better quality of life for those we serve.

Academy Objectives

Our Academy will give attendees the opportunity to learn about and participate in:

  • The benefits of public service

  • The challenges and demands associated with law enforcement

  • Selected police units

  • Practical applications that demonstrate the aspects of the police officer’s job

  • The many facets of the criminal justice system

  • How police interact with the court system

  • Safety procedures required in policing

  • Techniques used in addressing crime in our community
