Raleigh Police Department relaunches Citizens Police Academy

The program, which is being reintroduced as the Community Police Academy, is part of RPD Police Chief Rico Boyce's strategic priority to enhance community engagement.

Citizens Police Academy set to return in 2025

How do police officers protect themselves during traffic stops? What steps do they take during crime investigations? What procedures do they take should an active shooter take hostages in a school or other building? Answers to those questions and more will be available to members of the public who register to participate in a free course set to begin Sept. 30, but the deadline to register is Sept. 12.
