Citizens Police Academy

The Auburn Police Department is proud to offer the Citizens Police Academy.

This exciting nine session program for residents of Auburn offers insight into how police officers perform their duties and how the APD serves our community. CPA consists of two classes per month from 6:00pm to 8:00pm, beginning on January 26, 2023. CPA will be held during the New Auburn Neighborhood Watch group.

All instructors are members of the law enforcement profession and will present material on the following topics (subject to change):

BASIC PATROL FUNCTIONS
USE OF FORCE (LETHAL, LESS THAN LETHAL)
OUI DETECTION AND ENFORCEMENT
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
K-9 DEMONSTRATION
DRUG ENFORCEMENT
CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION and much more!

 'Graduates' of the Academy learn about the structure and activities of the department. This is a true 'behind-the-scenes' look at the APD.

The Citizens Police Academy is intended to be an overview of the Auburn Police Department’s functions and operations. Participants will not be trained as police officers. Class size is limited and will be filled on a first-come basis. 

A background check will be performed on ALL applicants. Applicants must be at least 18 years of age to participate. Applicants with felony convictions or extensive criminal backgrounds will not be accepted.
