Ever wondered what it was like to be a police officer without having to endure the mental and physical training required for the job? If so, you need to take advantage of the UNH Citizen’s Police Academy.  

Classes begin Feb. 6, 2013. Graduation is May 1. The academy meets once a week on Wednesday from 7 p.m. -10 p.m. in the UNH police department’s conference room. Participants have the opportunity to meet with the chief of police and other staff members. Applicants are asked to commit to full attendance of all scheduled classes.

The Citizen’s Police Academy gives community members an inside look at how their police department functions on a day-to-day basis, increasing understanding and awareness in regards to the community role of the UNH Police Department.  

Attendees are offered a variety of training programs and are shown the true life of a police officer through hands-on activities and engaging field trips. Subjects include operational information, physical interaction with police officers, demonstrations, and ride-alongs. The class culminates with a graduation ceremony.
