During this course, students meet a variety of officers to learn about
criminal law, traffic enforcement, evidence collection, firearms, arrest procedures, narcotics enforcement and many other topics. Students also participate in practical scenarios, which afford citizens hands-on opportunity to understand various law enforcement applications.
“Educating citizens about their police department and illegal activity in their community is one of the best forms of crime prevention,” said OCPD Chief Bernadette DiPino. “Not only does the Citizens Police Academy allow residents the opportunity to learn about how the OCPD operates, but it also gives them a close look inside the lives of our police officers.”
For more information about the Citizens Police Academy or to receive an application, please contact the OCPD Public Affairs Office at 410.520.5395.

back before crime took over the City and the County used to have this. Great stuff. Dapino has it going on. Keep up the great work. O.C.P.D.
Now the citizens can spy on each other and make anonymous reports to Big Brother.
I will resist the comparison to Nazi Germany. It is not comparable. It is however, EXACTLY THE SAME!
they got more training than the SPD and WCSD didn't they? LOL
