Lafayette Police Department Fall 2020 Citizens Academy

The Lafayette Police Department is now offering registration for our upcoming Fall 2020 Citizens Academy. Our academy is an nine-week educational outreach program designed to provide citizens a greater understanding of the inner-workings of their police department and of the role that law enforcement plays within the criminal justice system.

The Citizen's Academy meets one evening per week (Wednesdays) for 9 weeks, from 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM (Sept 9th - Nov 4th). These classroom sessions will be held at Lafayette Police Training Center at 1301 South St, Lafayette, IN.

Class size will be limited due to Covid-19. Social distancing requirements will be maintained. Participants and instructors will be required to wear masks during the course sessions. Temperatures will be taken before each class session, and anyone with a temperature above 100.3 or showing Covid-19 symptoms will not be allowed to participate. Also due to Covid-19 restrictions we will not be able to offer the ride along portion of the Citizens Academy.

The class is free. 18 and older only. Does require a criminal background check and fingerprinting - completed by LPD
