Have you ever wondered, "Why do police officers do what they do?" If you have, the Minneapolis Police Citizens Academy might be for you. The 10-week course, which begins September 9, 2009, gives participants an inside view of the types of training police officers receive to serve and protect the community. The course is open to people at least 18 years old who live and work in Minneapolis. Participants will hear from investigators, trainers, precinct commanders, and officers about police procedures and will also experience some "hands on" activities. Topics covered during the course include ‘Use of Force,’ ‘Investigations,’ ‘K-9 Unit,’ ‘911 Operations,’ and ‘Emergency Response Unit’ among others. The Academy seeks to serve people from a wide variety of backgrounds. Candidates from different ethnicities, professions, cultural backgrounds, age groups, and neighborhoods are encouraged to apply.
