Citizen Police Academy
Educating Princeton's Citizens
The Princeton Police Department sponsors the Citizens Police Academy (CPA) with the goal of educating the residents of Princeton on the operations of the department. This is accomplished through a series of lectures and hands-on activities on Thursday evenings from 7pm to 10 pm for 12 weeks.
The CPA is led by the Professional Services Unit, with all lectures and activities taught by Police Officers whose current assignments are directly involved in the policing activities covered in their segment of the academy. The CPA is conducted at the Princeton Police Department located at 2000 E. Princeton Drive. The equipment used during the CPA is the same equipment used to train Police Officers.
