Fort Worth Citizens Police Academy
CLASS # 41 SCHEDULE
Citizens Police Academy is a 12 week (one night per week) informative program for citizens to learn more about the specific areas of the Police Department. This 36 hour training program consists of classroom and “hands on” instruction to provide the public with a working knowledge of the Fort Worth Police Department. Instruction will be comprehensive, and in each session a different facet of the department will be explored. Classes will be taught by officers and supervisors who work within the area being taught. Participants will meet for three (3) hours once a week on Thursdays during the 12 week course, from 6PM to 9PM.
