Citizen
Police Academy
Ever wondered how the police handle hostage negotiations? Or, what is FATS
training? Join the Citizen Police Academy to find out these things and
more!
The Citizen Police Academy (CPA) is designed to give participants a better understanding of how the St. Charles Police Department operates.
For details regarding the next Citizens Police Academy session, contact Tim Beam, tbeam@stcharlesil.gov.
When possible, the curriculum makes use of both classroom instruction and outside demonstrations, where participants can have the opportunity to try the activity being demonstrated, such as processing a fingerprint, getting a radar reading or shooting on the F.A.T.S. machine. The CPA has an added benefit of being a sounding board on how the police department is really meeting the needs of the community.
The program is held once a year and meets two nights a week for 8 weeks. Classes are held in the Police Department Training Room, 10 State Ave., after which a graduation event is held for the participants.
Applications are available at
the Police Department or download
one here.
Once the application has been completed, it can be dropped off or mailed to:
The St. Charles Police Department
Attn: Officer Tim Beam
2 State Avenue
St. Charles, Illinois 60174
The class is open, free of charge, to St. Charles residents, property and business owners and their employees, and approved St. Charles high school juniors and seniors.
Eligibility will be considered for township and residents
of other communities based on space availability. All applications are subject to approval.
