Beginning Feb. 16, the Clovis Police Department and other local law enforcement agencies will be hosting a 12-week Citizen’s Police Academy.

It is open to the public and designed to acquaint citizens with police duties and offer an inside look into the profession.

Classes will include criminal law, investigations, traffic law and crash investigations, drug interdiction and domestic violence.

Students will also get hands on experience in crime scene investigation, firearms, driving and more.

For information on attending the academy, contact: Officer Josh Parkin at 763-9427 or jparkin@cityofclovis.org.
