Edina Police Citizens Academy Opens Fall Registration
The Edina Police Department is accepting applications for its fall Citizens Academy program, with about half the spots still available for the 13-week course beginning Aug. 28.
Mayor Jim Hufflin announced the program during his July 16 Mayor's Minute, encouraging community members to register for the hands-on law enforcement experience. The course runs through Nov. 20, meeting Thursdays from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Edina Police Department or South Metro Public Training Facility.
Participants will engage in mock traffic stops, tour the Hennepin County Jail, meet police K-9 teams and learn about metro area drug task force operations. The curriculum also includes proactive defense tactics, SWAT team demonstrations and criminal investigation procedures.
The program costs $25 and is open to residents and workers in Edina who are 21 or older. Applicants must pass a background check, with applications processed in order of receipt. Priority goes to those who have not previously attended the academy.
Registration is available at edinamn.gov/citizensacademy. The program receives support from the Edina Crime Prevention Fund.
