We welcome your interest in our Citizen’s Police Academy. The main goal of the academy is to educate citizens with the operation of the police department while obtaining valuable feedback from those citizens. The 12-week program is designed to expose citizens to the day-to-day workings of the police department and to help them understand the role of Law Enforcement in our society.  The academy will start on Tuesday, February 19, 2019 at 6pm, and is scheduled to meet each subsequent Tuesday from 6pm-9pm. The classes will be taught by Gilford Police Officers and will consist of three-hour blocks, held once a week for twelve weeks. Topics will cover a broad range of modern policing such as: Criminal and Motor Vehicle codes, Patrol Procedures and tactics, DWI recognition, Officer Safety, Defensive Tactics, weapons familiarization and much more. Participants will also be given the opportunity to ride along with members of the Patrol Division.

Applications must be submitted to the Gilford Police Department by Thursday, February 7, 2019.
