Police Department Hosting First Citizen Academy

 

The Mission Police Department will host its first Citizens Police Academy starting Monday, September 21, 2009.  The Citizens Academy is intended to give an overview of the activities of Mission Police Officers, and to offer the opportunity for citizens to learn more about what our Officers do during their shifts.  Participants will get to experience some of our training first hand, including firearms, defensive tactics, and more?

 

The academy will meet weekly on Monday nights from 6:00 p.m. to 9:30 pm for eight consecutive weeks.  The academy is open to any Johnson County citizen (21 years of age or older), but priority is given to Mission residents.  For a tentative schedule, click here.
