Newark Police Department Fall 2014 Citizen Police Academy – Class #16
The Newark Police Department is seeking residents, as well as individuals who work within the City of Newark, to participate in our Citizen Police Academy. The next Academy is scheduled to begin on September 10, 2014 and ends on November 19, 2014 with a graduation ceremony. Classes will meet on Wednesday evenings from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. primarily at the City Administration Building located at 37101 Newark Boulevard, although a few sessions require meeting at other local venues.
This eleven-week academy is designed to provide participants with a “behind the scenes” look at local law enforcement and to promote a greater understanding and awareness of our role in the community. Police personnel will provide an overview of the department’s structure, services, and personnel, as well as offer students the opportunity to ask questions and discuss any specific public safety concerns they might have. Participants will also be given an opportunity to ride along with a police officer to experience first-hand the duties they perform on a daily basis.
Scheduled topics include:
• Police Ethics, Hiring, Backgrounds and Field Training
• Patrol Techniques and Bicycle Patrol
• Traffic and Accident Investigation
• SET/Narcotic Investigation
• Investigations
• Hostage Negotiations
• Use of Force
• Range Safety
• SWAT History and Safety Concerns
• Trauma Support
• K9 Demonstration
• Court Systems
Citizen Police Academy participants will be selected through an application process.

• Have no prior felony or serious misdemeanor convictions.
• Be willing to have a background check completed.
