CITIZEN POLICE ACADEMY
The Purpose;
The Milford Police Department is sponsoring the Citizens Police Academy in order to provide information to the citizens that attend so that they may make informed judgments about the police department and police activity. It is further hoped that the instruction will increase police awareness and increase police community rapport through this educational process. In return, the department will learn and become more aware of the concerns of the community from the participant’s interaction and input.
