On November 8th the Springfield Police Department held a ceremony to honor 25 graduates of the 2018 Citizens Police Academy.
In order to graduate, participants were required to complete 30 hours of instruction over 11 weeks. The course covered a variety of topics including police policies, crime scene processing, defensive tactics, use of firearms and organizational structure within the department.
The goal of the academy is to give citizens a better understanding of how the police department functions and what challenges officers face when working to serve the community.
