Police Academy for Community Members
free 11 week course offered - Thursday nights
The new Community Police Academy has been scheduled to begin on Thursday, March 27th, and is held every Thursday for 11 weeks from 6pm to 9pm.
The course is 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 eleven week academy students will be introduced to police operations, participate in firearms safety demonstrations, tour Air Support Division (Helicopter Cops) 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

Patrol Procedures
Vice Enforcement
Crime Prevention
Detective Investigations
