What is it?

The Citizen Police Academy (CPA) is a thirteen week program designed to provide a working knowledge and background of the Huntsville Police Department and to foster a closer relationship between our agency and the community. It provides an avenue for community involvement and provides first hand experience of policing.

Purpose

The Citizen Police Academy is intended to develop a harmonious working relationship between members of the community and law enforcement while at the same time opening a mutually supportive avenue for communication. It is an opportunity for citizens to learn more about Huntsville Police Department, ask questions, have hands on learning in an attempt to gain a more thorough understanding of the inner workings of the department.
