Citizen Police Academy


This no-cost program is designed to equip citizens with a deeper understanding and heightened awareness of their local law enforcement and the regulatory framework guiding its operations.

The academy spans eleven engaging weekly sessions, each lasting approximately three hours and led by seasoned members of the Police Department. Participants will delve into various facets of policing, including an overview of the Criminal Justice System, Use of Force protocols, Criminal Investigations, arrest procedures, Search and Seizure laws, Building Searches, and Traffic Stops. Through a blend of classroom instruction and hands-on activities, attendees will gain practical insights, culminating in a graduation dinner where they will receive a certificate of completion.

The Harker Heights Police Department aims for CPA graduates to emerge as community advocates, fostering understanding and dispelling misconceptions about law enforcement agencies among the public they serve. Join us in bridging the gap and building stronger relationships between citizens and their dedicated law enforcement professionals.
