Enid Police Department is now accepting applications for their next Citizens Police Academy.
The Department gave a statement regarding the academy.
“The goal of the Citizens Police Academy is to educate Enid residents about the structure and activities of their police department. The Citizens Police Academy class is not a training class, but is an exciting informational class with a behind-the-scenes look at the Enid Police Department.”
It is intended to be a way to inform the citizens of Enid how police work is done and to provide a deeper understanding of the responsibilities everyone in the department has to fill.
Classes will be weekly with two and a half hour sessions. These will include patrol, criminal investigations, crime scenes, narcotics, DUI enforcement, officer use of force, traffic stops, officer safety, crime prevention and defensive tactics.
The program will be free and meet once a week on Tuesdays from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m.
Applications are available here.
The deadline is 5 p.m. on February 1, 2024.
