City of Lebanon, TN

Citizen Police Adademy

Citizen’s Police Academy

     In an effort to educate and inform the community, the City of Lebanon, in partner with the Lebanon
Police Department, provides its residents and business owners a voluntary police academy. The
six-week program entails lectures, presentations, as well as hands-on activities to teach and
inform its participants the many facets of law enforcement and introduce the police department that
serves them. This stimulating and informative program will give each enrollee a better sense of the
Lebanon Police Department and the issues concerning everyday operations. Citizens will also have a
better understanding of their role in the Community Oriented Policing philosophy.

     The purpose of the Citizen’s Police Academy is to foster better communications between citizens and
police through education. A well-informed citizen is more likely to share their experiences with
the community as the opportunity arises. Everyone benefits from enhancing citizen's understanding
of the role and function of their police department.

     We encourage you to apply for the next Citizen’s Police Academy, which begins
Thursday, March 21st, 2013. The academy meets every Thursday from 6:00pm-
