CITIZEN POLICE ACADEMY
The Yonkers Police Department’s “Citizen Police Academy” is an educational program designed to foster a greater understanding between our citizens and the Police Department. A specialized course of instruction has been created to give you, the citizen, a rare inside glimpse of all the different facets and challenges of today’s Police Officer. With your participation we hope to provide a positive learning experience among both students and the instructors. The students will gain a better understanding and appreciation of what we do and the Department will have the opportunity to better understand the needs of its residents.
The classes are sure to be exciting and an “eye opening” experience for all. Not only will you learn about the current laws, but you will have hands on experience in defensive tactics, simulated firearms, pursuit driving and a “ride-a-long”.
You may contact Lt. Richard Ruyack of the Training Unit if you have any further questions or concerns. 914-377-7360
