Warren’s Citizen Police Academy accepting applications

WARREN

The second class of the Citizen’s Police Academy graduated during a ceremony in Warren City Council chambers today.

Applications are being accepted for upcoming classes in February, March, April and May. The academy includes training for six to seven weeks to give Warren residents an inside look into how the Warren Police Department operates.

Sessions include a tour of the 911 center, police ride-along, training in situations involving the use of deadly force and a breakdown of laws and procedures.

For more information, contact officer Geoff Fusco at 330-841-2788. Applications also can be downloaded from the City of Warren web site at www.warren.org or picked up at the Warren Police Department, 141 South Street or at the Warren Weed & Seed office, 760 Main Ave SW.

Classes are being provided through a collaboration among the police department, City of Warren and Warren Weed & Seed, a program funded by a grant from the U.S. Justice Department.
