Applications available for Citizens Police Academy

By

HUNTLEY — The Huntley Police Department is now accepting applications for the upcoming Citizen Police Academy (CPA) according to a police department press release.

The CPA is scheduled to begin March 15, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. and will meet every Wednesday night through May 17 at Huntley Police Department, located at 10911 Main Street, Huntley.

The CPA is a 10-week program designed to give participants a working knowledge of the Huntley Police Department, according to the department’s press statement. It consists of classes and discussions which provide an overview of the various areas of law enforcement. It is an educational and informative program that allows citizens the opportunity to learn about the issues that affect law enforcement efforts in the Village of Huntley.

The CPA is free of charge and is open to individuals who are 18 years of age and live and work in the Village of Huntley. Applicants will be subject to a background check. Residents who are interested in attending the CPA and would like an application, they are available at the Huntley Police Department, or may be downloaded from the Huntley Police Department website, bit.ly/CitizenPoliceAcademy2023.

For more information on this program, contact officer Jerry Keppler at 847-515-5409. The registration deadline is Feb. 28, 2023.

Graduates of the program are not certified offices, the release continued, but are prepared with a knowledge of how law enforcement agencies operate. Some graduates may decide to join the Huntley CPA Alumni Association which provides continuing and volunteer opportunities with the Huntley Police Department.
