Citizen Police Academy
The Fairfield Police Department’s semiannual Citizen Police Academy gives residents a better understanding of police work and gives Fairfield police officers a better understanding of the expectations of our citizens.
The next Citizen Police Academy begins March 17. The class will be held on 10 consecutive Mondays from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. at the Fairfield Police Department at 5230 Pleasant Avenue, with one Saturday morning session at the Hamilton Police Firing Range.
The class is open to adults who live or work in the City of Fairfield. We have a casual classroom setting that is open to questions and discussion.
Applications are available by calling Officer Dennis Valentini at 513-896-8292.
