The Bloomingdale Police Department is once again hosting the Citizen Police Academy Program for its community members. The Citizen Police Academy is a natural step from the Neighborhood Watch Program to enhance the lines of communication with individuals who live and/or work in Bloomingdale, by providing an insight into police work procedures. The ten-week program will consist of a series of instruction and discussion to provide an overview of various areas of law enforcement.

 The classes will be held on Wednesday evenings in September, October, and November, each for a three hour interval (6:30-9:30 PM), during which police officers instruct on the following topics: Department Organization, Testing Process, Building Tour, Adult and Juvenile Criminal Law and Procedures, Traffic Stops and Radar Enforcement, Accidents/Crash Reports, D.U.I. Procedures, Use of Force/Liability, Defensive Tactics, Firearms Safety, Interviewing/Interrogation overview, and K-9 Demonstration.

 If interested in participating in the Citizen Police Academy or for more information, please contact Sue Osicek at (630) 671-5858.

 The ten-week Citizen Police Academy will be held Wednesday evenings from September 13 through November 15th.
