Purpose of the Citizens’ Police Academy

The purpose of the Citizens’ Police Academy is to increase the participant’s knowledge of law enforcement, programs and operations utilized by the police department, and improve police-community relations. The class will highlight the daily operations of the department and is designed to give the class participants an overview of the responsibilities and challenges police officers face in delivering police services to our community. Graduates will experience a more interactive association with the police department, if they join the Mountain Home Citizens’ Police Academy Alumni Association after graduation. The alumni association is a major part of the department’s community policing efforts that are dedicated to improving the quality of life in our community.
