Resume: Late last evening, 25 men and women attended their final Citizens Police Academy session at the Delaware State Police Range in Smyrna.Over the past seven weeks, the CPA attendees sacrificed their valuable time to learn more about the DSP and it various units. During this program, the CPA members sat through presentations from homicide investigators, fraud detectives, Collision Reconstruction Unit members and dispatchers. They learned about DUI investigations, prosecution and youth aid cases. They had the opportunity to participate in a ride-along with a patrol officer as well as visit the DSP Aviation Hanger in Middletown.
On its final night, the class went to the Smyrna range where they learned more about State Police weaponry and even had a chance to utilize the range first hand under the supervision of a Firearms Training Unit Instructor.
Colonel Robert Coupe then presented formal certificates of appreciation to the class attendees at the end of the night. He characterized this program “as an opportunity for Troopers to interact with citizens and establish new partnerships amongst the people we serve.”
The Delaware State Police would like to formally thank the citizens who participated in this voluntarily class. Their enthusiasm and eagerness to learn made facilitating this program worth while. Also, a special note of gratitude is expressed to the Attorney General’s Office as well as the New Castle County Police who conducted presentations to the CPA members.

Is AARP card required to join?
Cool, was already thinking about signing up for the class here in Salisbury, a ride in the MSP helicopter sure would seal the deal for me :)
But in all seriousness I think this will give me a more rounded view of our local SPD, the ride along and the gun range time will be fun to!
Although I think that this is good for some, I'm afraid of too many wanna-be's taking things into their own hands and making some situations worse instead of helping police officers. You can't tell me that some of those graduates aren't feeling cocky as hell right now!
Stop, or I will yell Stop again...
I think it's sad that NOBODY can do ANYTHING around here anymore without this website and it's negative readers/commenters putting their two cents in.
