SPRING, 2008 CITIZEN POLICE ACADEMY ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS

On behalf of Mayor Jerry Jennings and Chief James W. Tuffey, we invite citizens to apply to the Albany Citizen Police Academy. Applications are now being accepted for the Spring 2008 Citizen Police Academy, scheduled to start on Tuesday, March 4th, 2008 (tentative). The thirteen-week course will continue on subsequent Tuesday evenings. Classes will meet from 6pm to 9pm.

Albany's Citizen Police Academy is a unique opportunity for citizens who live in or work in Albany. The goal of the Academy is to increase understanding between citizens and police through education. Through the weekly classes, the police will hope to dispel suspicions and misconceptions and increase rapport between the citizens and the police.  The citizens, in turn, make the officers more aware of their feelings and concerns.
