The agency is the only one of its size to have an accredited communication center. The department has several special programs including a Citizens’ Police Academy. The academy is a ten-week program during which residents meet weekly to learn about their police department and get hands-on experience in various areas including the firing range and investigation techniques. This highly successful program, which allows residents to see how their tax dollars are being spent, is run two times a year.
