SPRING, 2018
CITIZEN POLICE ACADEMY
APPLICATIONS
On behalf of Mayor Kathy Sheehan and
Acting Albany Police Chief Robert Sears, we
invite our fellow citizens to apply to the
Albany Citizen Police Academy. Applications
are now being accepted for the 2018 Spring,
Citizen Police Academy, scheduled to start
on Wednesday, March 28th, 2018. This is a
fourteen week course which continues on each
subsequent Wednesday evening. Classes will
meet from 6pm – 9pm @ The Albany Police
Training Center (Large Classroom), 223
Washington Ave Ext. Albany, NY 12205.
Albany's Citizen Police Academy is a
unique opportunity for citizens who live in or
work in the City of Albany. The goal of the
Academy is to increase understanding
between citizens and police through
education.
Through the weekly classes, the police will
hope to dispel suspicions and misconceptions
and increase rapport between the citizens of
Albany and the police. The citizens, in turn,
make officers more aware of their feelings and
concerns.
A few examples of presentation and topic
discussions include:
- Community Policing
- Police / Community Relations
- First Responder / CPR
- Forensic Investigations Unit
- Criminal Investigations Unit
- Children and Family Services Unit
- Basic Crime Prevention

weeks
Instruction will be presented by subject matter
experts and will include virtually every aspect of
police work ranging from a study of the New
York State Penal Law, demonstrations of many
different law enforcement tools (canine unit,
