The Citizens Police Academy is a 35-hour program designed to provide
members of the public a unique “glimpse behind the badge.” Attendees
are afforded the opportunity to learn about departmental resources,
programs and, most importantly, the men and women who comprise an
organization nationally recognized as a leader in the law enforcement
community. Students learn more about the breadth of resources
involved in preventing and solving crime and the daily challenges
faced by police officers. Class locations rotate to various police
facilities. Courses are held on nine Thursday evenings from 6:30 p.m.
to 10:00 p.m., with the exception of the final class. This final
class is held on a Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.How do I apply?The Citizens Police Academy is open to all individuals who live or work in Fairfax County and are at least 18 years old.
