Chief Tommy Wright announces the Trenton Police Department will be offering a “Police Department Citizens Academy” class beginning on Sept. 23 to Oct. 28. Classes will be held at the Grundy County Law Enforcement Center on Tuesday nights from 7 to 9 p.m. for a six-week period.
Participants who complete the course will receive a certificate of completion from the Trenton Police Department. Class size is limited to 15 students, who must be 21 years or older.
The purpose of the Trenton Police Department “Citizens Academy” is to increase understanding between the community and police department through education. Course topics include different aspects of police work, narcotics, administrative functions, investigations, tactical operations, road patrol, traffic, and other aspects of the Criminal Justice system. Participants will also be given the opportunity to participate in a ride along that will allow them to be part of an actual shift with the police department.
There is no cost to attend, however pre-registration is required. Application deadline is Sept. 22.
To register, persons can contact the police department at 359-5557 or e-mail Chief Wright at [email protected].
