Citizen Academy Assembling

The Laguna Beach Police Department is accepting applications for its next Citizen Academy, starting Sept. 6. The academy meets from 6 to 9:30 p.m. for 12 consecutive weeks. Applications will be accepted until Aug. 23.

The course is designed to provide the public with a better understanding of the department and to help foster better communications between police personnel and citizens.  Instruction will include department history, investigations, traffic enforcement, gangs, narcotics, neighborhood watch, crime prevention, K-9 and volunteer programs.  There will also be a tour of the station, county jail and a chance to shoot at the police firing range.

To apply contact class assistant Ross Fallah at rfallah@lagunabeachcity.net or Capt. Darin Lenyi at (949) 497-0375 or dlenyi@lagunabeachcity.net.
