Citizen’s Police Academy
The Rochester Police Department holds an annual Citizen’s Police Academy where we invite citizens to learn what we “really do.” Citizens who participate in the program are exposed to the many facets of the Police Department through presentations by department employees, hands-on training, and ride-alongs with officers.
