Community Education
for the Education Community
Join our 9-week Community Police Academy. Classes will resume in January 2010. To be eligible for participation, please fill out the application below by December 15, 2009.
The Stanford Department of Public Safety (SUDPS) has a long history of providing a wide variety of services to the Stanford community. In 2005, the Department of Public Safety implemented our first Community Police Academy. Our goal is to build trust and develop a partnership between the police department and the community. The objective is not to make police officers out of the participants, but to expand the participants' knowledge of the duties, responsibilities, decisions, and constraints that face law enforcement officers. This 9-week course is a blend of classroom instruction and hands-on activities that will give the participants the opportunity to stand in an officer's shoes.
Topics include: laws of arrest, CSI vs. Reality, DUI investigations, pulling over vehicles, a video shoot-don't shoot simulation and more!
Our next Community Police Academy starts on January 7, 2010. Earn a unit of credit by taking the class! After receiving approval on your application, enroll for LAWGEN 209 on Axess.
