Applications are being accepted for the Spring 2019 South Brunswick Citizen Police Academy.
The academy will give community members a behind-the-scenes look at policing. A dozen officers and detectives will share their perspective and insights into the daily workings of the police department.
The academy will offer training on a range of law enforcement topics including motor vehicle laws, criminal law, and use of force. In addition, citizens will learn about crime scene processing, defensive tactics and internal affairs. The academy will culminate with a day of practical exercises where students will handle simulated motor vehicle stops, disputes, and other realistic scenarios.
Classes will be held from 6:30-9:30 p.m., March 6 to May 22. There will be no class on April 24 for Spring Break.
Community members must complete an application and go through a screening process. Contact Julie Trammell by emailing [email protected]. Applications must be submitted by Feb. 20.
