GASTON
COUNTY POLICE DEPARTMENT CITIZENS’ ACADEMY
The Citizens’ Academy is one of several programs that
have developed from the Gaston County Police Community-oriented Policing
philosophy.
The academy is a 10-week program designed to provide
Gaston County residents, in an academy setting, first-hand information
about how their police department works.
This year, Gaston County police offered a two-week
summer program for youth.
The Department attempts to reflect the broadest possible
range within the community. This includes young and old, men and women,
and representatives of special ethnic, cultural and civic groups.
Participation
Requires a commitment of one night a week for the
10-week period. Classes are held on Tuesdays from 6:30-8:45 p.m. at the
Gaston County Police Department, 2300 Remount Road, Gastonia.
Subjects Covered
Sessions include patrol procedures, major crime and
drug investigations, juvenile investigations, community services
programs, records, crime analysis, training functions and
property/evidence management.
There will also be demonstrations from the ERT, K-9,
Hazardous Devices and Crime Scene Search Unit Teams.
Also, at some point beyond the second session, members
may ride in a patrol car for one shift to see first-hand what officers
see and hear and what they are trained to do under a variety of
circumstances.
Throughout, participants are encouraged to ask
questions and discuss topics with department personnel.
Purpose
The Academy is designed to increase understanding
between citizens and the police through education. The intent is to
acquaint citizens with law enforcement’s role in the criminal justice
system and provide increased understanding of the tasks police officers
face in their daily work.
With better understanding, it becomes easier for
police and citizens to find realistic solutions to neighborhood
problems.
Instructors
The instructors are officers and personnel from the
department who teach in their own areas of expertise. Each has years of
training and experience in the subject. The officers also bring street
experience into the classroom.
To Apply
Contact the Support Services Captain at the Gaston
County Police Department for an application. The phone number is
866-3320.
