The Town of Salem Police Department is currently accepting applications for its 14th Citizen’s Police Academy.
The Academy will run for 11 weeks with classes held on Tuesday evenings from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Classes may run longer depending on subject matter and class questions.
The course instruction is comprehensive, covering a different aspect of the Police Department each week. Certified police officers, supervisors, and civilian attorneys will conduct each topic. There is no cost for this class due to a generous donation from the Salem Exchange Club.
