Alexandria Police Department Accepting Applications for the 45th Session of the Community Police Academy
For Immediate Release:
February 17, 2021
Get to
know your Police Department! The six-week
virtual Alexandria Community Police Academy provides an opportunity for
residents to learn about various aspects of the Police Department, such as
administrative philosophy, internal policies and the guiding principles of law
and ethical conduct governing the delivery of police services.
Classes are a combination of lecture and interactive activities. Class topics will include Patrol Operations, Crime Scene Investigations, Criminal Investigations and the Special Operations Team. The academy will run from March 24-April 30, 2021 with classes held virtually on Zoom every Wednesday from 6:00-8:00 p.m.
Due to the popularity of the class, we ask participants to commit to attending all six sessions. Community Police Academy participants must be at least 21 years of age and live or work in the City of Alexandria. In addition, criminal background checks will be conducted on all applicants for final approval of acceptance.
The curriculum covers the core elements which are essential for participants to gain a greater understanding of police operations. By participating, residents can make more informed judgments about the Alexandria Police Department and its daily operations. The Police Department is simultaneously able to acquire a greater understanding of the views and concerns of the community through an enhanced relationship with the public.
