The Citizen Police Academy is designed to give the Citizens of the city of Kerrville a working knowledge of the Kerrville Police Department. The course consists of eleven classes instructed by personnel from various divisions of the department. Although the course has a particular emphasis on patrol, it also covers many diverse topics such as Criminal Investigations, Evidence, Firearms, Traffic, Special Operations Unit and Communications. Each student will also be given the opportunity to ride with a patrol officer during a tour of duty.
