According to a recent announcement on the city's official website, the academy is set to start on February 10, 2026, and will run for 12 weeks, inviting participants into the complex world of policing.
Anyone hoping to get a better understanding of the police force's responsibilities can attend the weekly Tuesday sessions from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Police Department's Main Training Room located at 2701 N.

Further details posted by Round Rock's official news update highlight the opportunity for graduates to continue their engagement with the department. Completing the course opens the door to additional voluntary training opportunities and entry into the Citizens on Patrol program, as well as the possibility of joining the Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association (CPAAA).
