The Warner Robins Police Department is now registering for the Spring 2018 Citizen Police Academy. The Academy is a 12 week program that gives participants an opportunity to gain a better understanding of the responsibilities and challenges of the police profession.
Participants will learn about several areas of law enforcement such as the hiring process, investigation divisions, SWAT team, use of force and firearms. Gain the opportunity to experience some of the training associated with police work and ride with patrol officers on duty. Participants do not have to be a citizen of Warner Robins to be in Citizen Police Academy. Completion of the Citizen Police Academy is not equivalent to completing the Mandate Training Academy for sworn law enforcement officers. Participants of the Citizen Police Academy must be 18 years of age or older.
