The Citizens Police Academy of Harris County was formed to bring a better understanding of what lawenforcement is all about for the everyday citizen. The classes are designed to give the citizen an overall view of all segements of the department. The classes last 13 weeks and cover just about all aspects of lawenforcement,examples would be the penal code, patrol procedures, the jail, investigations, the courts, the academy (firearms and driving techniques), sex crimes, air rescue and other realted divisions of the department.
One of the real expierences you have is an actual role acting of real stops that an officer does and you are put in their shoes. You find out real fast how fast you have to act and you come away with a real understanding of thinking under pressure.
Upon the completion of the 13 weeks, you graduate and then become eligible to join an alumni association of other graduates to further help the men and women of lawenforcement.
I highly reccomend that you become involved with this organization or ask your local police or sheriffs depatrment if they have a program like this in your community. Become involved and learn what the officers do, dont complain until you have been in their shoes. Belive me you will never regret these classes and you will come away with a better understanding and along the way a few friends too.They are there for you, now lets be there for them. CPA Class NO. 9
