Elk Grove residents are encouraged to join the Elk Grove Police Department for their upcoming Citizens' Academy starting on February 10th!

The Citizens' Academy is a sixteen week program designed to inform and teach interested residents about the various aspects of municipal policing. The program covers procedures from patrol and investigations, vehicle operations, arrest and control techniques, 911 communications, code enforcement and animal control.

According to Jason Jacobo, this course is great for Elk Grove residents who want to learn more about how the Elk Grove Police department works to keep us all safe!

The Citizens' Academy meets on Wednesday evenings from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Elk Grove Police Department.
