Parker area residents are invited to attend the Parker Police Department’s eight-week citizen academy program.  This program gives participants first-hand information about how the Police Department operates.  Classes will focus on criminal law, the drug task force, evidence, dispatch, firearms training (optional), traffic laws, accident reconstruction, DUI laws, Taser demonstrations, DARE and many other topics.  All attendees will also be invited to participate in a graduation at the end of the program.

The classroom work, combined with field trips and tours, requires a commitment of one night a week from 6 to 10 p.m. for eight weeks.  All classes will be held on Thursday nights, with one optional Saturday class at the shooting range.

Participation is limited to 20 people ages 21 and older.  Citizen academies are normally held two times a year. For more information, contact Lt. Prior at 303.841.9800 or email jprior@parkeronline.org or khenry@parkeronline.org.
