Conducting Great Citizen Police Academy and Alumni Classes in Tough Economic Times
Training Seminar Luncheon
Illinois Citizens Police Academy Association
Why attend?
While the debate about whether we are in a recession or headed towards the Second Great Depression rages on, higher prices and lower interest rates have forced many municipalities to tell their departments to cut budgets in dramatic fashion. Unfortunately, police departments and sheriff’s offices are no exception in these trying economic times. Are you…
- Trying to figure out how to bring in outside instructors for little or no cost in these tough economic times?
- Looking for ways to illustrate to your village or city administrators the benefits of continuing Citizen Police Academy classes and alumni association classes?
- Look for new ideas for Citizen Police Academy classes, or alumni association classes to keep participants “enter-trained?”
If you answered YES to one or more of the above questions, then you need to attend this training seminar.
Who should attend?
This training seminar is designed to help Citizen Police Academy coordinators and administrators that currently have a Citizen Police Academy program in their community (or would like to start one up), police officers who instruct classes for their agency’s Citizen Police Academy program, as well as police liaisons and/or civilians that currently coordinate continuing education classes for their local alumni association.
