2018 Albany Citizen Police Academy Application is Available

By albanyhousing | Published: February 26, 2018

SPRING, 2018
CITIZEN POLICE ACADEMY APPLICATIONS

On behalf of Mayor Kathy Sheehan and Acting Albany Police Chief Robert Sears, we invite our fellow citizens to apply to the Albany Citizen Police Academy. Applications are now being accepted for the 2018 Spring, Citizen Police Academy, scheduled to start on Wednesday, March 28th, 2018. This is a fourteen week course which continues on each subsequent Wednesday evening. Classes will meet from 6pm – 9pm @ The Albany Police Training Center (Large Classroom), 223 Washington Ave Ext. Albany, NY 12205.

ABOUT THE ALBANY CITIZEN POLICE ACADEMY

Albany’s Citizen Police Academy is a unique opportunity for citizens who live in or work in the City of Albany. The goal of the Academy is to increase understanding between citizens and police through education.
Through the weekly classes, the police will hope to dispel suspicions and misconceptions and increase rapport between the citizens of Albany and the police. The citizens, in turn, make officers more aware of their feelings and concerns.

A few examples of presentation and topic
discussions include:

Community Policing
Police / Community Relations
First Responder / CPR
Forensic Investigations Unit
Criminal Investigations Unit
Children and Family Services Unit
Basic Crime Prevention

Much time and energy has been devoted to the development of an informative overview of the fundamentals of police operations, which are instructed by both management and nonmanagement representatives from the Albany Police Department. Students will typically be meeting once a week for three hours for fourteen weeks. Instruction will be presented by subject matter experts and will include virtually every aspect of police work ranging from a study of the New York State Penal Law, demonstrations of many different law enforcement tools (canine unit, mounted unit, etc.), narcotics investigations, computers, firearms, etc. The classes will include lectures, tours, demonstrations, and hands on participation.

ALBANY CITIZEN POLICE ACADEMY

Citizens (limited to those who live in or work in the City of Albany) should complete the following application (Click HERE for the fillable application in PDF format) and return it to the Albany Police Department Training Unit at:

training_unit@albany-ny.org

Dear Friends at the Albany Housing Authority,

2017 was an amazing year for the South End Children’s Cafe.

Thanks to you, and your ongoing support, belief in the program and dedication to the children, we were able to celebrate serving over 14,600 meals in just two years!

And especially thanks to you, we moved into our new space at 25 Warren Street, Albany. Since opening on December 4 to the children, we have served over 1,000 meals already. Your support from the beginning of planning for this has been unbelievable, and I am so grateful to all of you and your staff for everything!

We have created a slideshow to show our appreciation to you for all you have done. Please enjoy your slideshow HERE.

Please come by sometime for dinner (we eat at 5) or a visit to see your kindness in action. Happy 2018! May you have as much joy and happiness in your life as you bring to so many others.
