Franklin Township Police Citizen ' s Academy 18+
Have you ever wondered what it’s really like to be a police officer? Then welcome to your opportunity to feed that curiosity .
The Academy is geared to introduce civilians of varied ages to the law enforcement profession . Often a lack of communication is rooted in a lack of understanding; this Academy aims to provide a bridge between the communication and understanding .
The Citizen’s Academy is open to Franklin Township residents and business owners , 18 years of age and older . The Academy will provide an overview of the town , its makeup , our community policing efforts and the Internal Affairs process . We will teach you the process of a police report – from the initial call to police , to the investigation , to the written report . You will also learn about motor vehicle collision investigations and traffic stops; including a summons from issuance to finality through the court system . Additionally , you can choose to become CPR and First Aid certified . You can also choose to try your hand at real - life scenarios through the Fire Arms Training Simulator . Finally , we will give you a chance to put it all together with a night of practical exercises .
Upon graduation , participants will achieve a broader understanding on the inner workings of the Franklin Township Police Department , a better understanding of the police profession and how they can help keep our community safe through crime prevention and community awareness .
All attendees must submit to and pass a brief background check .
