SAN LEANDRO POLICE DEPARTMENT
CITIZEN POLICE ACADEMY
The San Leandro Police Department will host a 10-week long Citizen Police Academy, starting on March 24, 2010. Sessions are held on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. in the San Leandro Police Department building, located off Civic Center Plaza at 901 E. 14th Street. Graduation for the 2010 Academy takes place on May 26, 2010.
The purpose of the Academy is to provide San Leandro citizens with a basic understanding of how the San Leandro Police Department works and its role in making San Leandro safer. During the Academy, personnel from throughout the department cover topics that include basic law enforcement as well as background on the department's specialized units, such as SWAT, Traffic, Crime Prevention and others. Each session provides hands-on activities, along with classroom instruction, and the Academy includes a behind-the-scenes tour of the department as well as a police patrol ride along. This is scheduled individually with each student outside of class time.
The Academy is limited to 20 students. Interested participants need to fill out and submit an application in order to enroll. The application deadline is February 15, 2010.
Contact Sergeant Luis Torres at (510) 577-3247 for additional information.
