August 19, 2019 PRESS RELEASE Citizen’s Police Academy The Monument Police Department is pleased to announce that it is now taking applications for the fall Citizens Police Academy. This no-cost, seven-week program, which will run from October 1st, 2019 through November 12th 2019, is open to all who live or work in the Tri-Lakes area. The Monument Police Department believes that this is a great opportunity for the citizens in the Tri-Lakes area to see firsthand what law enforcement is all about. The Academy is designed to increase understanding between citizens and the police through education. It also gives police officers another opportunity to interact positively with the community, which is a fundamental base of Community Policing. During the seven-week Academy, participants will learn about criminal law, patrol procedures, use of force, traffic safety, internal affairs, community policing, dispatch services, and have the opportunity to shoot a variety of police weapons and much more. Classes will be held on Tuesday evenings from 7:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. at the Monument Police Department, 645 Beacon Lite Road, and one Saturday at the range. If you are interested in attending, please stop by the Monument Police Department and pick up an application.
