| The Citizens Police Academy is an excellent
opportunity for residents and business owners to get a "behind the scene"
look into the Hollywood Police Department. The Academy enables participants
to become more familiar with the day-to-day operations of the Police Department.

Participants gain a better understanding of the procedures, responsibilities,
and guidelines, demands of personnel and the policies and laws that guide
decision making. They become better informed as to the actual role
of the police. For twelve weeks, from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., one
night a week, participants receive "hands on" instruction; from guest lecturers
and classroom activities to "ride-alongs" with patrol officers.

Citizen Academy
classes are held at police headquarters. At the end of the 12 week
academy, an awards banquet is held. Class space is limited to 25 per Academy
session.
A $30 registration fee is required, checks made payable to the City of
Hollywood.
