SPD Citizens' Police Academy


The Salisbury Police Department is currently advertising for applicants for its upcoming Citizen's Police Academy.

Application forms (2 pages) and a two page brochure are attached to this message.

Understanding the role of the police department and how it can best function with a strong community member interface are highlights of the course. "Participants in the program will learn about the organizational structure of the Salisbury Police Department, its mission, its role and values, community policing concepts, criminal procedural law, criminal investigation techniques, evidence collection procedures, traffic law enforcement, drug enforcement community relations/crime prevention programs and more."

Two two-hour sessions on successive Thursdays (February 11th and 18th) from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. are scheduled.

Each applicant must be at least 18 years of age and will be subject to a criminal background check prior to admission to the program.

Applications have to be in next week, so get yours in the mail as soon as possible. Contact Lieutenant Paul Simon for more details at 410-548-3165, extension 1181.
