Apply NOW to join the 2021 Fall Bozeman Police Department Citizen’s Police Academy

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a police officer with the Bozeman Police Department? Do you often question why the Bozeman Police Officers do what they do or wonder what challenges the community faces? Is it really possible to solve crime in an hour or less?

The Bozeman Police Department is proud to sponsor the thirteenth session of our popular Citizen’s Police Academy.

This FREE class will meet every Wednesday evening from 6:15-8:30 pm over the course of eight weeks with an opportunity to ride along with our patrol officers in their beat! The academy starts September 22, 2021 and will run through November 10, 2021.

One of the main objectives of the Citizen’s Police Academy is to have fun while fostering stronger communication between the citizens of Bozeman and our police department. It is also to enhance citizen understanding and awareness of the role of the Bozeman Police Department.

This will be a hands-on training with an emphasis on student involvement. Classes about the department and criminal justice system will be offered to the students so there can be a better understanding of the services the Bozeman Police Department provides to our community. Students will learn about the different divisions, such as patrol, detective, and support services.

If you are interested in attending this high-energy event or have questions, contact Community Resource Officer Marek Ziegler at mziegler@bozeman.net or at 582-2969.
