The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department is currently accepting applications for its next Citizens Academy class. The Citizens Academy offers an insider's view into the day-to-day job of a St. Louis City Police Officer and is designed to further strengthen the bond between the Department and the community. Participants receive classroom instruction, visit with the K-9 unit, interact with the bomb and arson robot, tour the 911 center and learn first-hand on the driving and shooting simulators about the split-second decisions officers must make. The Citizens Academy meets one night per week for 12 weeks.
Applicants must be St. Louis City residents or own a business in the city limits. Participants must be 18 or older and have no outstanding arrest warrants. All participants must agree to a criminal background check. There is no fee associated with attending the Citizens Academy.
Questions about applying to the Citizens Academy should be directed to citizensacademy@slmpd.org .
