Citizen Police Academy

The Fairfield Township Police Department is looking for a few good men and women who have the desire to learn about law enforcement and the Fairfield Township Police Department. This ten-week program provides citizens the opportunity to learn about police department functions. Classroom discussions and hands-on demonstrations will provide attendees with a background of the department as well as familiarization with some of the many aspects of police work. Get a more in-depth look at the duties and responsibilities of a law enforcement officer.

Topics include, but are not limited to: The Judicial System, Gang Awareness, Investigations, SWAT, Use of Force, K9, and other topics.

Academy members also have the opportunity to participate in the ride-along program and to join the Citizen Police Academy Alumni Association. All academies meet in the police department's training room once per week from 6:30pm to 9:00pm, for 10 weeks.
