LTPD’s Citizens Police Academy is designed to provide citizens a behind-the-scenes look into police work and improve partnerships between the police and the community in a fun, educational class setting.

More information coming soon on the 2025 session! Watch for details on our social media, e-Timberlines email newsletter, and the Timberlines magazine.

As a participant in the Citizens Police Academy, you will:

    • Get to know your police officers
    • Drive a patrol car
    • Search a building for “bad guys”
    • Investigate a mock crime scene
    • Try on SWAT gear
    • Watch a K-9 demonstration
    • Practice roadside maneuvers
    • De-escalate a crisis situation
    • Conduct a mock traffic stop
    • And much more!

Applicants will not be allowed to participate unless a release of liability has been signed and turned in prior to the start of the Academy.
