Citizens Police Academy returns

MARANA — In an effort to encourage a greater knowledge of its many functions and services, the Marana Police Department is bringing back its Citizens Police Academy this fall.

The interactive program is open to anyone who is at least 18 years old, or enrolled as a junior or senior at Marana High School, passes a background investigation, including a criminal history check, and lives or works in Marana.

The 10-week program starts Sept. 12 and sessions are held Wednesdays from 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Visit www.marana.com for more information or to register. The deadline is Aug. 22.

Participants will have opportunities to learn more about the police department’s crime scene, K-9 and patrol units and an introduction of command staff, among many other functions. The department held its most recent Citizens Police Academy in March 2010.

For more information, contact Officer Lori Sheppard at (520) 382-2051.
