Citizens Police Academy

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.
