Citizens' Police Academy

The Citizen's Police Academy is open to all citizens of Chesapeake who are 18 years of age or older. This is an excellent opportunity for the citizens of Chesapeake to learn about police work and how our department operates.

Participants will be exposed to several areas of police work and receive instruction from personnel within the department about their specific function. There will be opportunities to observe demonstrations from our specialty units such as K-9 and S.W.A.T., participate in a "ride along" with a uniformed officer during a regular shift, and learn about firearms by interacting with the Range 2000 simulator and shooting the departments-issued weapon (H & K 40 cal. Semi automatic pistol).

If you would like to receive further information, contact Neil Morgan at the Chesapeake Police Academy at 487-0003 or 487-0886. A criminal record check will be conducted on all participants; and letters will go out approximately two weeks before this session begins.
