Citizens Police Academy

The Citizens Police Academy allows us a way to familiarize our citizens with the day-to-day operations of the police department. It also provides our citizens with the opportunity to share any concerns and/or suggestions they may have about what is going on in their community or within our department.   

The academy is 8 weeks long and meets one night a week for 2 hours.  Upon graduation participants will receive a certificate of attendance and will be allowed to ride along with a Kilgore Police Officer.
