Citizens Police Academy

The Roanoke County Citizens Police Academy program
has been temporarily suspended as of 12/19/2008.

The Roanoke County Police Department was the first law enforcement agency in the Commonwealth of Virginia to offer this opportunity to citizens. Members of the Neighborhood Watch Program and the Business Watch Program as well as any private citizens are welcome to attend. The goal of the Academy is to educate private citizens on why and how the Roanoke County Police Department carries out its mission.

• The Roanoke County Police Department offers the academy twice a year in the fall and spring.
• Anyone can attend!  Residents of Roanoke County receive first consideration, but all citizens are welcome to apply.
• Participants must be 18 years of age or older, or be enrolled in a County High School and have parental permission.

Citizen Academy Applications are available on-line or in the lobby of the Roanoke County Public Safety Center on Cove Road and the Roanoke County Administration Center on Bernard Drive.
