The City of Wilmington’s Citizens Police Academy is an eight (8) week course, scheduled to begin on September 16th, 2014 and will continue to meet once a week on Tuesday evenings from 6:00p.m-8:00pm. This program is designed to provide members of the City of Wilmington’s community with additional knowledge about their police department. It allows citizens of the City of Wilmington to become more educated on the Wilmington Police Department’s procedures and the pressures associated within law enforcement. We seek to invite a diverse group of people that either live in or work in the City of Wilmington. There is no cost to attend the Citizen Police Academy.
