Applications Accepted for Tredyffrin Citizens Police Academy

The Tredyffrin Township Police Department has started accepting applications for its popular Citizens Police Academy community crime prevention program.

Each year, the department organizes the program to increase understanding between citizens and police officers through training and open communications. This year’s session begins in September.

The mission is to provide information to the public so it can be informed of current crime trends and have a basic understanding of how to reduce its risk of becoming a victim to a crime.

Academy course highlights include: Criminal investigation, patrol procedures, domestic violence awareness, DUI and drug investigations, traffic law enforcement procedures, overview of the criminal justice system, CPR certification, and a tour of the police facility, 911 Center, and a local fire company.

The class will run for 11 consecutive Tuesday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Township Building.
