What is the purpose of the Citizens Police Academy?
The Farmers Branch Citizen Police Academy was created 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 dispel suspicions and misconceptions and to increase police community rapport through this educational process. The department, in turn, becomes more aware of the feelings and concerns of the community from the participant’s interaction and input.
