Citizens Police Academy for Spanish Speakers

New Academy starts Wednesday, August 30th. Meets weekly for six weeks!

Just like our traditional, long-running Citizens Police Academy, the FREE, eight-week class is designed for residents seeking better understanding of the basics of law enforcement and the policies and procedures of the KCKPD. The only difference is that this course is offered in Spanish.

The hope is that graduates will then share that knowledge with their neighbors in an effort to strengthen the relationship between the Hispanic community and police. Topics covered include Special Operations Unit, handgun safety, CSI (Crime Scene Investigation) and gang awareness,

Applicants must be 18 years -old with no criminal record. A criminal history background checks are completed for all applicants. Resident status is not a factor. If you have questions about the academy, please contact Capt. Navarro at (913) 573-6277 or by email.
