LOMBARD, Illinois— The Lombard Police Department will be holding its 23rd Citizen's Police Academy (CPA) beginning March 5, 2013.

The CPA classes are held free of charge every Tuesday night from 7-9:30 p.m. over a ten-week period. The purpose of the academy is to give citizens living or working in Lombard an understanding of modern police procedures and the challenges officers face. Lombard officers teach all classes so participants get it straight from the front line.

Topics covered include traffic stops, firearm training, search and seizure laws, defensive tactics training and other hands-on instruction.

This is a great opportunity for citizens to get to know their force and get a hands-on experience of what police work is all about. Students say they never look at the police the same once they have gone through the classes. Although class size is limited, citizens interested in applying are encouraged to contact Barb Bartolotte at (630) 873-4471 for an application. Applications are also available at the front desk of the Police Department or may be printed from the Village's website at www.villageoflombard.org.
