Police Academy for Community Members
free 10 week course offered - Thursday nights
The Operations Central Bureau Police Academy (English) has been scheduled to begin on Thursday April 19th.
This is a 10 week course designed to provide the community members with an inside look at the LAPD and various facets of law enforcement.
The academy is held at the Elysian Park Academy (1880 North Academy Drive, CA 90012-1001) every Thursday from 6pm to 9pm. There is no physical activity involved other that walking to the classrooms and there is no charge.
During the ten week academy students will be introduced to police operations, participate in firearms safety demonstrations, tour air support and communications divisions.
During the last week students will be able to use our training simulator. This equipment simulates shooting, use of force and also no-shoot situations and exposes the public to how quick officers have to make life and death decisions.
Other classes will include:
Community Policing
Criminal Law
Internal Affairs
Patrol Procedures
Vice Enforcement
Crime Prevention
Detective Investigations
Drug Enforcement
Crime Scene
Traffic Enforcement |
All classes are taught by experienced police officers, detectives and staff officers.
The minimum requirements are:
Be at least 18 years old.
No prior felony convictions.
No outstanding warrants.
No pending criminal cases. |
This is a free service to the citizens and is a LOT of fun and ends with a graduation ceremony in which you will get a certificate.
