Contributed by: Town of Parker on 8/6/2008

Parker area residents are invited to attend the Parker Police Department's eight-week fall citizen academy. This program gives participants first-hand information about how the police department operates.

Classes will focus on criminal law, the drug task force, evidence, dispatch, firearms training (optional), traffic laws, accident reconstruction, DUI laws, Taser demonstrations, DARE and many other topics. All attendees will also participate in a graduation at the end of the program.

The classroom work, combined with field trips and tours, begins Sept. 4 and requires a commitment of one night a week from 6 to 10 p.m. for eight weeks. All classes will be held on Thursday nights.

Find the application online at www.parkeronline.org or pick up an application at the Parker Police Department, 19600 E. Parker Square Drive. Applications must be turned in to the police department and will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. All applicants are subject to a background check.

Participation is limited to 15 people ages 21 and older. This will be the last citizen police academy held in 2008. For more information, contact Lt. Prior at 303-841-9800 or jprior@parkeronline.org or Kathy Henry at khenry@parkeronline.org.
