The Springettsbury Police Department is pleased to offer local residents the opportunity to participate in the Springettsbury Police Department Citizen Police Academy. The Citizen Police Academy classes take place one night a week for 10 weeks. Each class lasts 2.5 hours and are generally held at STPD Headquarters on Tuesday evenings.

The classes cover a wide range of law enforcement related topics including crime scene investigation, accident reconstructions, Police radio dispatch, and investigative and patrol tactics. Each class is conducted by an expert in the individual class topic.
