Full Notification

The Burbank Police Department conducts community academies in English, Spanish, Armenian, and for the deaf/hard of hearing throughout the year for those who live or work in the City of Burbank.

These academies are a terrific opportunity for the Burbank Police Department to reach out to its diverse community and allow individuals to get a behind-the-scenes look at the personnel and operations of the Department.

For nine weeks, participants interact with the officers from the various bureaus and assignments in the Department.

Presentation topics include the criminal justice system, training, traffic control, animal control, reserve program, patrol and detective functions, air support unit, Special Weapons and Tactics team, police K-9s, and much more.

Participants who graduate from the community academy may be eligible to become a Burbank Police Department volunteer.

The winter/spring Community Academy takes place on Thursday evenings, and begins on Thursday, February 6, 2014, and concludes on April 3, 2014.

Meetings start at 6:30 p.m. and conclude at approximately 9:00 p.m., and are held at the Burbank Police Station. There is no charge for the Community Academy. Applicants are subject to a background check.

Applications may be picked up at the Police Department, or downloaded from the Police Department website, and should be returned no later than Friday, January 31, 2014.

Please indicate on the application which class you would prefer (English, Spanish, Armenian, deaf/hard of hearing). Space is limited. Applying early is recommended.
