The Altamonte Springs Fire and Police Departments invite you to participate in the new public safety academy that will give residents an in-depth look at fire and police operations.
Many agencies offer police academies or fire academies to residents.
The City of Altamonte Springs is unusual because it combines the two. The class will go to the police department's gun range, tour the Seminole County jail, the emergency operation center, and emergency dispatch center. Educating people about public safety issues and how the police and fire departments work is the main goal of the academy. It ultimately could lead to a safer neighborhood.
