Fernandina Beach Citizen Police Academy

THE ADVENTURE BEGINS

Join Session 1 of the Fernandina Beach Citizen Police Academy to find answers to common questions about law enforcement.

You may also ask… why should I spend my free time listening to cops talking about their jobs? That is a fair question. Here is just a small sample of the many benefits you will receive from attending the Citizen Police Academy (CPA).

• Hear from our Chief of Police and other administration on various topics including, but not limited to, accreditation and standards.
• Hands-on crime scene processing with our Criminal Investigative Bureau.
• A glimpse into police related defensive tactics for de-escalation scenarios.
• Learn about our traffic unit, how we field citizen complaints, and experience laser/radar operations firsthand.
• Shoot a police officer’s gun at the firearms range.
• Firsthand insight on a day in the life of a police officer.
• Free snacks each week.

When you attend the Fernandina Beach Citizen Police Academy, you step into the real world of 21^st century policing. A hint… it is not what you see in the media! We open the doors and shine a light on every aspect of the police department.
