EUREKA -- The Eureka Police Department has developed a Citizen’s Police Academy program featuring a variety of topics, demonstrations, tours and hands-on experience to teach the public about EPD policies and procedures.

The program will run for seven weeks on Tuesdays from 6 to 8:30 p.m. starting Feb. 17. Applicants must be at least 18 years old, have no misdemeanor or felony convictions in the last three years and pass a background check by EPD. Applications will be accepted through Jan. 30.

The program is aimed at forging a stronger partnership between the public and EPD, as well as a way for participants and officers to share information and ideas about the law enforcement profession.

EPD is accepting applications for the academy 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, on-line at www.ci.eureka.ca.gov, by calling 707-441-4266 or by mail at the Eureka Police Department Business Office, 604 C Street, Eureka, CA 95501.
