ESTHERVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO HOST CITIZENS ACADEMY
The Estherville Police Department will host another Citizens Academy April 1st 2010, through May 20th 2010. The class will meet once a week on Thursday evenings from 6:30P.M. to 9:30P.M. Students of the academy will be instructed on several aspects of law enforcement including: investigations, SWAT, operating while intoxicated, patrol operations, and firearms just to name a few.
The police department has been conducting citizen’s academies since 2000, instructing over 60 men and women of the community and students at Estherville Lincoln Central High School. The academies were started in 2000 by Retired Officer Terry Watters and will be led by Officers Lewis and Dunlavy. Officer Lewis, himself, is a graduate of the Youth Academy.
The requirements to attend the course will be, that the applicant be 16 years of age or older, no felony or domestic violence charges or convictions pending and have a good standing with law enforcement. It will be open to all people who live and work in the Estherville area. There is no cost to attend the academy. Academy graduates will receive a Citizen’s Academy t-shirt.
There are three ways to obtain an application for the Citizens Academy:
Pick-up an application at the police department, download an application from the department's website or fill-out the application online at the department website. Applications must be returned or submitted no later than Friday March 26th 2010.
We would like to invite anyone interested in a career in law enforcement or anyone that just wants to learn more about the job our officers do, to attend this class.
