Town of Zebulon Police Department issued the following announcement on Jan. 10.

ZEBULON POLICE DEPARTMENT

CITIZENS POLICE ACADEMY

1st SESSION

The Zebulon Police Department is hosting our inaugural Citizen’s Police Academy, designed to give its citizens and area business owners a chance to develop a better understanding of the services provided by the agency.

 This program is intended to be a collaborative effort between local residents, business owners, and police officers that will help identify problems, generate community-oriented solutions and build the kind of trust critical to creating a safe and pleasant community.

Classes for this free 5-week academy will be held every Tuesday evening from 6:00 PM until 8:30 PM in the Police Training Room, located at 1001 N Arendell Ave.  Classes will begin January 31 and run through March 7.  

Each week, students will cover a different topic, ranging from Criminal Law and Traffic Enforcement, to Body Cameras and Canine.

Applicants must be 18 years of age or older. High school students under the age of 18 may attend if the appropriate parental waivers are provided. Preference will be given to residents of Zebulon, local business owners and civic group members, but all Eastern Wake community members are encouraged to apply.

 Participants must have no criminal history of felonies or serious misdemeanors.

Class size is limited to 20 eligible participants on a first-come, first-served basis.

 Applications must be submitted by January 20, 2023.

If you have any questions about the academy please contact Chief Jacqui Boykin at (919) 823-1820 or by email at jboykin@townofzebulon.org.
