13th Citizen's Police Academy Class Graduates

After 12 weeks, a new crop of residents graduated this week from the Citizen’s Police Academy.

The Acworth Police Department hosted the graduation at City Hall on Tuesday, and Cobb County District Attorney Vic Reynolds was the featured speaker, said Capt. Mark Cheatham, the spokesman for the department.

Since March 5, participants have learned about the operations of the Acworth Police Department, constitutional law, traffic enforcement, criminal investigations and other topics.

"This marks the 13th consecutive year that the Acworth Police Department has hosted this event," Cheatham said in a statement. "In that time, we have had more than 350 graduates."
