Citizens Police Academy

The Farmers Branch Police Department Citizens Police Academy is a 33-hour block of instruction designed to give the public a working knowledge of the Police Department's personnel and policies. It consists of a series of classes held once each week for three hours. The instruction is comprehensive, covering a different area of the Police Department each week. Officers, supervisors and personnel assigned to that particular division conduct each instructional block.

Successful completion of the Citizens Police Academy is a prerequisite for participating in Citizens on Patrol.
