Newark Police Department 2016 Fall Citizen Police Academy – Class #18

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 Wednesday, August 17, 2016 and run through October 26, 2016, culminating 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 will 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.

• Police Ethics, Hiring, Background & Field Training
• Laws of Arrest
• Use of Force
• Patrol
