More recently, other public service agencies have initiated similar programs, such as Citizen Fire Academies. The Orlando Police Department's Citizen Police Academy is free of charge and offered twice a year. Unfortunately, we can accommodate no more than 30 people per class. Please take a few moments to see what our Citizen Police Academy has to offer. The Chief of Police and the Command Staff will introduce themselves and their 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.
