East Point Police Department to host Citizens Police Academy

The East Point Police Department will host its Citizens Police Academy on March 6- May 8, 2018. The Citizens Police Academy is a program designed to acquaint citizens with the organization and interior working of the East Point Police Department.  The program is designed to foster and enhance Police-Community relations and to raise community awareness of Police Operations and training in an effort to promote harmony within the community.  The course of study is similar to a regular police academy program. However, citizens graduating from the course will not be Police Officers.  Students will attend class once a week for ten weeks and topics will range from crime prevention, drug enforcement, criminal investigations, and the safety of firearms and will include a ride-along with Police Officers. 

Please register by February 27, 2018. To register for the class contact Detective Donna Bridges at 404-559-6282 or dbridges@eastpointcity.org. You can also contact Officer Johnny Turner at 404-559-6453 or jturner@eastpointcity.org.
