Alexandria Police Accepting Applications for Half-Day Winter Community
Police Academy

For Immediate Release: January 4, 2020

Get to know the Alexandria Police Department (APD) in an abbreviated
half-day session. Thanks to the popularity of our 10-week Community Police
Academy, APD is offering one half-day class the end of January 2020. This
academy allows residents and community members to learn about various
aspects of the Police Department during the summer months. Topics will
include patrol operations, use of force policies, the K9 Unit, Special
Operations Team, crime scene investigation and criminal investigations.

This one half-day session is being offered on Saturday, January 25, 2020.
The session will be held at Alexandria Police Department Headquarters at
3600 Wheeler Avenue from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Session will start with
registration at 8:30 a.m.

This free class is limited to 45 participants per session. Participants of
this half-day Community Police Academy must be at least 18 years of age and
live or work in the City of Alexandria. In addition, criminal history
checks will be conducted on all applicants for final approval of acceptance.

The curriculum covers the core elements that are essential for participants
to gain a greater understanding of police operations. As a result of their
participation, residents can make more informed judgments about APD and its
daily operations. Simultaneously, APD is able to acquire a greater
understanding of the views and concerns of the community through an
enhanced relationship with the public.

For more information on the Community Police Academy or to request an
application, visit the Community Police Academy online or e-mail the
Volunteer Office at mary.bruno at alexandriava.gov. The deadline for
registration is January 17, 2020.
