ByKristy

The James City County Police Department invites the public to register for the 57th Citizens Police Academy (CPA). This free 12-week program offers County residents aged 18 and older a unique opportunity to gain insight into law enforcement practices and procedures.

The Citizens Police Academy, established in 1995 by former Chief of Police David A. Daigneault, aims to foster better understanding and communication between citizens and law enforcement. Participants get an inside look at topics like patrol operations, special teams, communications, community services, Department philosophy, and many other aspects of police work.

The 57th session of the CPA will run from August 19 to November 18, with classes held each Wednesday from 7-9 p.m. The Academy is limited to 30 participants, and interested individuals are encouraged to apply early. Applications are on the County’s website and must be submitted by August 12, 2026.

To apply, please visit the CPA webpage. For additional information, please contact the JCCPD Community Services Unit at (757) 253-1800 or pdcpa@jamescitycountyva.gov.
