CITIZENS POLICE ACADEMY

Information and Course Schedule


This is an invitation to people who live or work in Norfolk and support the efforts of law enforcement in Norfolk, Virginia. This is an invitation to those who are interested in making our communities safer and healthier places to live.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work in law enforcement? The thrills, the stress, the training, the shift work...weekend and holidays. Well, we have. We also discovered that you could peek into that world by attending the Norfolk Police Citizens Academy. When we found out that there are enlightening and informative classes going on at the Second Patrol Division, we wanted to know more. These classes are free and fun to attend, and demonstrate what our police officers can and can not do as they work to protect the citizens.

The Norfolk Citizens Police Academy is 12 weeks long, and is offered twice each year. The next session will be April 1 ~ June 17, 2010.

For further information or to obtain an application, contact Officer Miles Warren at (757) 664-6921, or e-mail miles.warren@norfolk.gov.

Classes are held on Thursday nights from 6:30pm to 9:30pm at the Second Patrol Division, located at 2500 North Military Highway near its intersection with I 64. Click on the link on our Home Page to see a map to the Second Patrol.

The Citizen Academy continues to gain in popularity. You can check below for a sample schedule to see what subjects are included!
