WHAT:
The role of Police has always been an interest to the average Citizen. The television media has capitalized upon this curiosity with shows such as “Cops”, “America’s Most Wanted”, and “Stories of the Highway Patrol”. Each week, real police action is broadcast into the living rooms of millions of Americans. Citizens and Police Agencies can benefit from the curiosity that citizens have about the Police by forming Citizen Police Academy programs that create an expansion of their community based efforts. The program is designed to educate citizens what their Swansea Police Department does. The critical elements include drug education, patrol techniques, crime scene, law enforcement technology, ride along and community involvement.
