SOMERVILLE PD TO HOLD CITIZENS POLICE ACADEMY

  

The Somerville Police Department is inviting local residents to sign up for their inaugural Citizens Police Academy.

The Citizens Police Academy is going to be a six-week course that runs January 12 thru February 16.

The classes meet every Thursday night from 6:30-8:30pm.

Police Chief Jake Sullivan said he is hoping that the Academy will help the public get a better understanding of how officers serve them, and also to improve the department’s relationship with the community.

Topics of discussion will include seatbelt safety, Texas traffic law, Police use of force, Police de-escalation, Police pursuit protocol, community policing, and a Police law update.

For more information, or to sign-up for the Somerville Citizens Police Academy, give them a call at 979-596-1633, or send them an e-mail to policeinfo@somervilletx.gov.
