CSPD LOOKING FOR ATTENDEES FOR CITIZENS POLICE ACADEMY

The Coral Springs Police Department is now taking applications for participants in the 15th Class of the Citizens Police Academy. The Academy begins on September 5, 2001 and will last for 13 weeks. Each session is held on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Meeting days and times for some hands-on sessions, such as firearms familiarization and ride-alongs with police officers, will be announced at the beginning of the Academy.

Established in June 1994, the Citizens Police Academy offers participants an inside look at law enforcement operations and an opportunity for hands-on experience in various areas of police work that are covered in the curriculum. The Citizens Police Academy is open to any Coral Springs resident or Coral Springs business owner over 18 years old.

Anyone wishing to participate in the Academy should call Nereida Rodriguez at 954-346-1278 or Kristin Rightler at 954-346-1268. MEMBERS OF THE MEDIA ARE ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE.
