Citizen Academy Information

Many Texas law enforcement agencies offer classes for interested community members who want information on how the agency works, and insight into the agency's policies and procedures. These courses, taught by officers, usually span several weeks and often include such topics as Crime Prevention, Family Violence, the Narcotics Division, Shoot-Don’t Shoot training exercises, Criminal Prosecutions, Homicide Investigations, Gangs, and Juvenile crimes.
