The Statesboro Police Department is now accepting applications for this year’s Citizens Police Academy, which will be September 28 – November 2.

The classes cover topics such as patrol, traffic, use of force, investigation, impact team, building clearing, ride alongs, and the department’s K9 and SWAT teams. The presentations are slide show/lecture style and will be given by SPD officers and detectives.
