99-023 CMUPD Citizens Police Academy
1 units, Carnegie Mellon University
Discover what it’s like to be a part of law enforcement at Carnegie Mellon University! The Citizens Police Academy offers an inside look at the training, responsibilities, and community partnerships that define our department. Join us for this engaging, hands-on experience. Don’t miss the opportunity to learn directly from CMUPD officers, ask questions, and gain valuable insights into campus safety and policing. CMU's Citizens Police Academy is a six-week course for faculty and staff held on Wednesday evenings at 300 South Craig Street (building attached to the CMU Police Station). The purpose of the Academy is to help bridge the gap between the CMU Police Department and the greater CMU community. Participants will learn more about the different training techniques, education and barriers that police officers face daily. The CMU Police Department hopes this experience will help educate the CMU community about the role and functions of CMU police and foster deeper connections and understandings between the students, faculty, staff and officers to create more positive interactions and a safer community. The department also hopes to dispel myths and misconceptions about our department and all police.
