Apply for Warren police citizen training class

WARREN

Applications are available for the Warren Police Department’s Citizen’s Police Awareness Academy Training class, which begins April 10 and runs for eight consecutive weeks.

City residents can obtain an application from the city’s website, www.warren.org, or by stopping by the Warren Police Department, 141 South St., from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Participants receive an overview of police policies and procedures, tour the county jail, ride along with police officers, get training on use of deadly force in simulated scenario, and get talks by city and police officials.

The training also covers a community-safety initiative for those interested in neighborhood watches. The department has run the academy since fall 2011.
