Academy Overview:
Citizens often wish they knew more about the public safety system. In turn, Ann Arbor Police Department, Ann Arbor Fire Department, and the 15th District Court members wish the public had a better understanding of the challenges facing Police Officers, Firefighters, Prosecuting Attorneys, Defense Attorneys and Judges.
To bridge the gap the Ann Arbor Police department, Ann Arbor Fire Department and the 15th District have joined together and created “The Ann Arbor Citizens’ Police, Courts, and Fire Academy”
The program is the first of its kind in the State of Michigan. The Ann Arbor Citizens’ Police, Courts and Fire Academy offers a two-way communication between the citizens, Police Officers, Firefighters, Attorneys and Judges in the 15th District Court and provides a mechanism for educating the public about public safety and the judicial system.
Course Content:
The Citizens’ Police, Courts and Fire Academy is a 10-week program that will be held at The Ann Arbor Police and Fire Departments, Washtenaw Community College and the 15th District Court. Classes are held once a week.
