Krag Campbell in a news release.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The goal of the academy is to foster relationships between the police department and our community, resulting in a clearer understanding of what the community can expect from the police department,&rdquo; Campbell said.<\/p>\n<p>Topics will range over a variety of subjects, including recruitment and special unit functions, Campbell said, including some live demonstrations. The JPD will issue a certificate of achievement at the conclusion of the course. A previous Citizen&rsquo;s Academy scheduled for March of 2020 was canceled by the onset of the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Attendance will be limited to 16 seats, Campbell said, but if there are more applicants, another iteration may be held at a later date.<\/p>\n<p>Applicants must be 18 years of age, and should apply at <a href=\"https:\/\/juneau.org\/police\/citizens-police-academy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/juneau.org\/police\/citizens-police-academy<\/a>.
