The Citizen Police Academy offers a unique opportunity for interested citizens to learn about the role of the Police Department and its many functions, services and capabilities.

Initiated in 2007, the academy is intended to educate citizens about police operations and personnel.

Citizens and law enforcement officers become acquainted with each other through in-person meetings on wide range of topics (including laws, investigations, tactical operations).

The goal is to reduce misconceptions that may result in conflicts caused by a lack of understanding.

 Academy requirements:

• Age 18 or older
• Live or work in Fairfax City
• U.S. citizenship
• Pass a police background check
• Submit an academy application
