SUBMITTED REPORT
Kyle Police Department is accepting applications for its Citizens’ Police Academy (CPA). This academy is designed for adult citizens who either reside in the city of Kyle or who own a business within the city.
The academy will begin on Sept, 4 and lasts 10 weeks. Graduation is held at a Kyle City Council meeting. Classes are scheduled for Tuesday nights, plus one “floating” day for a ride out in a squad car. This hands-on course will allow citizens a unique opportunity to learn about the operations of the Kyle Police Department and to get acquainted with some of the officers.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to ride out with a police officer once they’ve reached a specified level of training. Graduates will help form the Citizens’ Police Academy Alumni Association, which is designed to maintain close working relationships with the police department, community and future CPA classes.
The purpose of the Citizens’ Police Academy is to promote and enhance the relationship between the community and the Kyle Police Department through the advocacy of continued law enforcement education.
For more information, contact Sgt. Tracy Vrana at 268-0859 ext. 721 or [email protected].
