Sun Prairie Police Department Media Release

From: Assistant Police Chief Scott Faust

Subject: Citizen Academy

The Sun Prairie Police Department is excited to offer to Sun Prairie residents, and to those that work in Sun Prairie, the opportunity to participate in the 2014 Citizen Academy. Participants must be 18 years of age and must pass a background check.

This community based policing program affords an opportunity for our citizens to learn more about what it is like to be a police officer, and it allows police officers a chance to better understand a citizen’s perspective on law enforcement.

Citizen Academy participants will spend time in a classroom learning more about police operations including investigations, crime prevention, criminal trends, and internet based criminal activity. Participants will also take part in more hands on learning, to include building searches, vehicle operation, traffic stop simulation, and firearms training.

Classes will be held on Thursdays starting September 11th and culminate with a graduation banquet on Monday, November 13th. Class time is from 6pm to 9pm. An additional class will be held the morning of Saturday, October 19th. Participants do not have to commit to attending all classes.

Please contact Assistant Police Chief Scott Faust, at 608-834-9502 or [email protected] if you have questions or are interested in applying.
