Bartlett to host Citizen Police Academy
The Bartlett Police Department will host a Citizen Police Academy from March 16 through May 11.
It is designed to provide residents and owners or employees of businesses within the village a better working knowledge of their police department.
The academy is a free nine-week program that meets Tuesdays, 6 to 8 p.m., in the department's training room. It will include a series of classroom discussions, demonstrations, interactive scenarios and practical exercises.
The class size is limited. A random draw system will be used to select participants if there is an overwhelming demand. Applicants must be at least 21 years old and can make a commitment to attend the entire program.
Contact Sgt. Tom Alagna at (630) 837-0846 or talagna@vbartlett.org before Friday, March 1.
