Citizens Police Academy class graduates

The St. Cloud Police Department held a graduation ceremony May 2 at police headquarters for the 13 students who completed the 2011 Citizens Police Academy.
Students were instructed on the inner-workings of their police department while participating in different police-related activities. They learned about patrol, traffic enforcement and felony stops, criminal investigations, communications and dispatch, crime scene investigation and techniques, police training and entry team.
“The purpose of the Citizens Police Academy is to provide our citizens with the opportunity to learn first-hand how their police department works to better serve their community,” Police Chief Pete Gauntlett said. “The graduates walk away with a better understanding of the department. This helps all of us to develop a partnership through education and this makes for a better community any way you look at it. We congratulate our graduates for their dedication to the class and to their community.”
The 12-week course normally begins in January every year. The course requires students to meet every Monday night, from 6 to 9 p.m., and students must be able to commit to attending all classes to receive the certificate of completion at graduation.
