The Decatur Citizen’s Police Academy (CPA) is normally held once per year in the Fall. However, due to increased interest in the CPA program, we are planning to host a special Spring 2015 CPA class if we have a minimum of 12 participants register.
The Spring 2015 Citizen’s Police Academy classes will be held Tuesday nights for 10 weeks starting March 3rd and ending May 5th. Class times are 7-9:30pm.
If you would like to learn more about police operations in general and how your Decatur Police Department works from the inside, this is a great opportunity to have many of your questions answered. You will meet the officers who serve our department and go on a ride-a-long with an officer during a patrol shift.

“CPA is a glimpse into the life of the City of Decatur police department that allows you to truly appreciate and experience, first hand, the service they provide to us as citizens of Decatur.”
“I never realized all of the intricacies, pitfalls and difficulties of a police officer’s job; now I do.”
“Fantastic course – I wish it lasted another 10 weeks!”
