Franklin Police to host Citizens Police Academy

CPA Badge

The Franklin Police Department and Franklin Public School’s Lifelong Community Learning will present the second annual Citizen Police Academy beginning September 12 as part of their continuing community partnership.


Classes will be held once a week for ten weeks on Wednesday nights 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM at the Franklin Police Station, 911 Panther Way. Participants will learn the answer to questions such as: How would you react in an emergency situation? How is evidence collected? What should you do if stopped for speeding?

Each attendee will also be given the opportunity to ride with a Franklin Police Officer during his or her tour of duty to experience the responsibilities of the officers firsthand. Ride-alongs will last approximately 3-4 hours.


The Academy registration fee is $90. For more information and to register online, go to www.FranklinLifelongLearning.com, click on Lifelong Community Learning & select Public Safety.
