- What is a Citizen's Police Academy?
-
- The Citizens Police Academy is designed to enhance our partnership with the community by
introducing participants to their local criminal justice system. It is an opportunity to meet
police officers, and other agency members who protect and serve our community. The intent
is not to train citizens to become police officers. Rather, it is an opportunity to see first
hand what duties and responsibilities law enforcement personnel have.
-
- Learn about Community Oriented Policing, criminal investigation, traffic and DWUI enforcement,
crime prevention and drug enforcement from police, and see what crime issues are of concern in
Cody.
-
- Goals of the Citizens Police Academy.

service in dealing with the issues you feel are important to you.
