The Orlando Police Department's Citizen's Police Academy is free of charge and offered twice a year. Unfortunately, we can accomodate no more than 30 people per class. Members of other agencies wishing to start their own program are invited to visit our Citizen Police Academy Starter Kit page. Please take a few moments to see what our Citizen's Police Academy has to offer. The Chief of Police and the Command Staff will introduce themselves and thier respective bureaus.
Time is allotted for questions from each.
An overview of the Citizen Police Academy goals and objectives will be explained. The Recruiting Section will explain the application and selection process. Representatives from the Training Section will then explain the training that is necessary to qualify as a law enforcement officer in the State of Florida, as well as the City of Orlando. The Basic Police Academy and Field Training Officer Program will be reviewed. The Internal Affairs is a section of the Orlando Police Professional Standards Division, and handles all in-house investigations.
