The Community Police Academy is a fourteen-week program designed to give the public a working knowledge of the Austin Police Department. Each session consists of weekly classes that meet at Austin Police Headquarters. The instruction is comprehensive, each week different units within the department are covered.
The slogan of the Community Police Academy is, “Understanding through Education.” The goal is to educate the public about the Austin Police Department and to increase the rapport between community members and police officers.
We hope the graduates of the Community Police Academy become more aware and better informed about how the Police Department operates, and will encourage friends, coworkers and families to join the Austin Police Department in this rewarding program.
