The 2012 winter/spring session of the High Point Police Department Citizen’s Police Academy will begin on January 17th 2012 and will conclude on April 17th 2012 with a graduation ceremony.

Classes will meet on Tuesdays with start times of either 6:00 p.m. or 7:00 p.m. and will last until 10:00 p.m.
With a blend of classroom time and hands-on exercises, academy participants will not only learn about the requirements of a police officer’s job, but they will also be presented with the legal and constitutional guidelines which police officers must follow while performing their duties. Participants cannot miss more than three classes and will be given the opportunity to do a ride along with an officer on Patrol.
