The curiosity surrounding the daily life and duties of a police officer is about to be satiated for residents and workers in Lewisville with the announcement of the opening of applications for its 47th Citizen Police Academy (CPA). According to a social media post from the Lewisville Police Department, the program will offer an immersive glimpse into law enforcement life over a span of ten weeks starting April 3, with sessions held every Thursday evening.
Participants in the CPA will engage in a range of police work-related activities, such as hands-on demonstrations and ride-along with officers, where they can observe firsthand the complexities of a patrol officer's day. Crime scene investigations will offer a window into the detailed work that goes into solving crimes, and sessions with K9 and SWAT units will demystify the specialized fields within the law enforcement tapestry.
The academy is not exclusively for those dreaming of donning the uniform. It's open to any Lewisville resident or worker over 18 looking to deepen their understanding of police work and forge a stronger connection between the community and law enforcement. Given the limited availability of spots in the program, the department urges interested parties to apply immediately for Class #47. For those eager to bridge the gap between civilians and the police force, the department encourages completing the application, which can be found through a link in their post.
