94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
The Radcliff Police Department is accepting registrations for their upcoming Citizens Police Academy.
“It is open for anyone over 18-years-old who is not a convicted felon,” said RPD Captain Willie Wells. “The application needs to be turned in by August 31. The applications can be obtained online on our Facebook site or on our city website, or here in person at the Radcliff Police Department.”
That’s Captain Willie Wells with the RPD. The Citizens Police Academy will run Monday nights from 6 to 8 p.m. from September 22 through November 10.
“It gives them a chance to learn about us and us a chance to learn about them,” Wells said. “It includes simulated firearms training, a ride-along program, investigations, the coroner’s office, just different various aspects of law enforcement. It helps bridge the communication gap between the community and us and allows us to develop relationships.”
The Citizens Police Academy is an opportunity to learn more about police work as well as an opportunity to support the RPD.
“A of the past persons that have completed this course, they keep in contact with us,” Wells said. “We have trouble in a certain neighborhood, we’ve already established a relationship with them, and so they know what we’re looking for and we know who to look for when we see them, so it just works both ways.”
You do not have to be interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement to attend, but if you are interested the Radcliff Police Department is currently hiring. Go to the Employment tab on the Police Department page at www.radcliff.org or contact the RPD to learn more.
