The Frederick Police Department is pleased to announce it will be conducting the 17^th Citizen Police Academy (CPA) starting in August of 2009.The Citizens Police Academy is a 10-week program designed to give interested citizens an overview of the many functions of their police department. Classes will meet every Wednesday evening from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. starting August 19^th and running thru October 21^st, 2009. There will be a final practical exercise / graduation day on Saturday October 24^th, 2009.

Upon completion of the program, participants will not be sworn police officers, nor be expected to perform any law enforcement functions; they will, however, have a greater understanding of what the Frederick Police Department does and how we can work together to make Frederick an even better community for everyone.

The CPA is a free of charge program open to any resident of the City of Frederick, or person with business interest in the city, who is 18-years or older, and has no serious criminal history.
