CITIZEN'S ACADEMY
The Citizen’s Police Academy was created to forge a stronger partnership between citizens and the San Ramon Police Department by educating the community in law enforcement issues and Police Department policies and procedures. The Academy exists as a thirteen-week program and provides San Ramon residents with firsthand information about how the Police Department operates. Here citizens are acquainted with law enforcement’s role in serving and protecting the community. They also are exposed to the tasks police officers face in the daily performance of their duties. Citizen’s Police Academy sessions are taught by police officers and Department personnel in their own areas of expertise. Weekly three-hour sessions cover a range of topics including patrol, criminal investigations, traffic stops, crime scenes, narcotics, Special Weapons and Tactics, DUI enforcement, officer safety, community policing, and defensive tactics. Tours include a trip to the County Jail and to the Sheriff’s Department Range where they have an opportunity to fire a weapon. The Citizen’s Academy graduated 22 citizens in 2008. Many Academy graduates become V.I.P.S. Volunteers in the Police Department. Click here for more information on: Volunteer Services
