What is it? The Citizen's Police Academy is a program designed to give participants a working knowledge of the Menomonie Police Department. It is not a "training" class, but it is an exciting "informational" class, a behind-the-scenes look at the Menomonie Police Department. The CPA (Citizen's Police Academy) program operates on the promise that informed and educated citizens will be more supportive of police officers and the department, and will be more productive within their own neighborhoods. The CPA will consist of a series of classes and discussions held once a week, on a designated evening for three hours per class. It is hoped that all graduates of the CPA will get to know more about the men and women who are protecting their community and why they make the decisions they do while performing that duty. What is taught?
Who can attend? Individuals who apply for the CPA must be at least 21 years of age. They must live, own property, or work in the City of Menomonie. All applicants will be subject to a background check. Citizen "recruits" will experience hands-on and classroom instruction in the above mentioned topics. The recruits graduate with a greater knowledge of police duties and procedures, which helps them understand the many tasks of a police officer and the rigorous instruction and education that new officers must have before being certified by the State of Wisconsin. Below are several pictures from the first "class".
