Q.P.D.’s Citizen Police Academy Taking Registrations

The Quincy Police Department is taking applications for the fall 2019 Citizen Police Academy class.  This class, which is 10 weeks in length, begins on Wednesday, September 4, 2019.  The class time is from 6 to 9 p.m. and most classes are held at Quincy City Hall.  There is NO CHARGE to attend!

During this class, participants will not only learn about all aspects of the Quincy Police Department, but will also have an opportunity to participate in hands on activities.  Some of the class topics include, Street Crimes Unit, DUI practical and mock vehicle stops, gangs, Emergency Response Team, crime scene investigation, and drug enforcement, just to name a few.  There is also an optional range day and class participants can ride along with a Q.P.D. officer.

To be eligible for the course, applicants must live in Quincy; work or go to school in Quincy, or own property in Quincy.  Applicants must also be at least 18 years of age.  Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about your police department.

I can tell you from first hand experience and as a graduate of this class, it will be the fastest 3 hours each week and the quickest 10 weeks of your life. The information you will learn is riveting.
