Derby Police Department to Hold 2023 Citizens Police Academy
Do you have an interest in law enforcement and how it works? Have you ever wanted a first-hand look behind the scenes at the Derby Police Department? If so, the Derby Citizen Police Academy wants you!
The Derby Police Department offers a Citizens Police Academy to enhance the working relationship and communication between residents in the community and law enforcement.
The 2023 Citizen Police Academy runs from March 21 to June 13. It is a free, 12-week class offered to the public. Participants must be at least 18 years of age and be a resident of Derby, work in Derby, or own a business in Derby.
Classes are held on Tuesdays from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Police & Courts Building, 229 N. Baltimore. A graduation ceremony and banquet will be held at the conclusion of the academy.
Through discussion, demonstration and hands-on experience, participants will explore a variety of topics, including patrol and response to calls, criminal investigations, use of force, and legal issues involving search, seizure and interrogation. Participants will also have the opportunity to ride with an officer on a shift.
Applications may be picked up and submitted at the Derby Police Department, 229 N. Baltimore, or filled out online at DerbyKS.com/cpa.
