FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HUNTERSVILLE, NC:
The Huntersville Police Department is pleased to announce the opening of applications for the Annual
Citizen's Police Academy.
The Academy is a 10-week program held on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Huntersville
Police Department located at 9630 Julian Clark Ave in the Huntersville Business Park. Classes will begin on
Tuesday January 20th 2015 and run for 10 consecutive weeks until Tuesday March 24th 2015.
In keeping with our organizational values Honor, Professionalism and Dedication to Duty, the Huntersville
Police Departments Citizen's Police Academy is designed to nurture public trust through informing our
citizens of the crucial role the police department serves in the community. The Academy is a community
relations program and is not designed to train citizens to be police officers or to be our representatives; rather
it gives the citizens a basic but realistic view of what the police really do. The Citizens Police Academy is
intended to be an interactive program involving participants in hands on activities.
The Academy is held without cost to the participants. To enroll, each participant must complete an
application which can be obtained by visiting our web site www.huntersvillepd.org or by emailing Sergeant

needed, a selection process will be used to balance the class.
