Tigard CERTs Graduate Citizen Police Academy

cert2_90x70Congratulations to two of our Tigard CERT members, Commander Bruno Amicci and Randi Karl for recently graduating from Tigard's Citizens Police Adademy. The Tigard Police Department operates an eight week Citizen's Police Academy once a year. The academy is consists of a eight week course of training designed to create better understanding and communication between citizens and police through education.

The academy subject matter covers a wide range of law enforcement topics such as investigations, patrol, training, budget, community policing, gangs, narcotics and firearms. The classes are conducted by members of the Tigard Police Department. A graduation will conclude the academy on the ninth Wednesday during the series. To date, 325 community members have participated in this popular program since it began in 1995.

Academy graduates leave with increased knowledge and enthusiasm to share the newly learned knowledge with their family, friends and neighbors. Further, some Citizens Police Academy graduates pursue volunteer efforts that closely match their interests. Other graduates possibly expand on their interests in law enforcement or other elements of the community.

Here are some photos from the graduation ceremony for the progam:
