The Denver Police Department would like to invite all Denver-area residents to attend its Citizen Academy. The Citizen Academy provides a good overview of what the Denver Police Department does on a daily basis; it covers all the bureaus in the department. You’ll learn about the crime lab, the SWAT team, the gang and narcotics units, and the handling of DNA evidence. You’ll also get a primer in the guidelines regarding the use of lethal force. For a complete course agenda, click here.
The class is offered twice a year; the first 2009 session begins on April 1, 2009. It runs 11 weeks and is free of charge, and it’s open to people from all over the metro area; you do not need to live in the City & County of Denver to attend. Click here to view a flyer for the course.
