The Manchester Police Department's CITIZENS POLICE ACADEMY is an 8-week, 8-session program designed to inform citizens about the role of this agency in our community. The program consists of both classroom and demonstration formats with some limited participation, if you so choose.

Upon your acceptance into the program, you can expect an informative session examining all the duties of the Manchester Police Department.

Additionally, you will be exposed to the glamour and excitement you associate with police work, along with the processes that are less glamorous but vital to the day to day operation of this agency.

Upon completion of this course it is our hope that not only will you have a better understanding of our profession but you will have located a particular area of interest where you may wish to explore further and perhaps contribute to your community by volunteering.

It is imperative however that citizens understand that this is an INFORMATIONAL program. AT NO TIME SHOULD ANYONE ACT AS A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIAL. The information presented is not designed for that purpose.
