Tuesday, 12 December 2006 |
The most recent class of the Asheville Police Department’s Citizens Police Academy was recognized for their completion of a ten-week course on Thursday, November 16. A graduation ceremony took place at 6pm. The event was held in the 3rd floor police training room of the Municipal Building located at 100 Court Plaza.
The twenty-eight members of this most recent class came from all walks of life in Asheville. They include published authors, business men and women, and retired persons. All of them have been motivated to invest their time in a learning opportunity that offers a unique insight into police training and operations here in Asheville.
The
ten-week class involved 35 hours of participation. During the weekly
evening meetings class members received information and instruction on
many aspects of police work. Subjects such as patrol techniques, search
and seizure, use of force issues, forensics, and criminal
investigations were included in the curriculum. Participants were also
given the option to attend firearms orientation held at the police
range one Saturday morning.
This class
provides a way for citizens to become more informed about the issues
facing a modern law enforcement agency. All citizens of Asheville are
eligible to apply for the next class that will begin March 15, 2007.
For more information, and to register your interest in participating in
the Citizens Police Academy, call the Asheville Police Department at
