Instructors are all law enforcement professionals, who teach both veteran and recruit police officers. Students come away from this training with a deeper understanding of the police mission,and with increased ability to see what the police can do to serve the community. Citizen Police Academy students are selected by the Police Chief through a nomination process. Citizens may also nominate themselves by filling out and forwarding an application to the Pitsburgh Bureau of Police. The names of the selected candidates are then placed on a waiting list.
Enrollment is limited to approximately thirty students per session.
