Registration still open for Citizen’s Police Academy

PARSIPPANY — The Parsippany-Troy Hills Police Department is accepting applications from its residents for enrollment in the 2016 Citizen’s Police Academy.

This ten-week program is designed to give the participants a working knowledge of the police department.

The goal is to increase communication and partnership between residents and the police through education and discussion to establish a safer community.

It consists of a series of sessions held once a week, on Thursdays, 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. starting Thursday, September 22.

The classes provide an in-depth view into various areas of law enforcement such as criminal investigations, neighborhood watch, crime prevention, firearms, use of force and advancements in technology utilized in law enforcement today. The program is an educational and informative program that allows residents the opportunity to learn about the issues that affect law enforcement efforts in Parsippany.

Class size is limited to approximately twenty students and there is no cost to anyone who attends the academy.

When residents take a more personal interest in the protection of their community and neighborhoods, they enjoy a safer and closer relationship with their neighbors.

It is the Police Department’s hope that the graduates become partners with them in identifying problems and solutions to the crime and safety issues that are affecting the community. Community Oriented Policing plays an important and vital role in reducing crime. Graduates of the academy are able to take what they have learned back into their neighborhoods where they can utilize it to enhance the quality of neighborhood life.

Upon completion of the course, with a minimum attendance of eight classes, graduates will receive a diploma, and a class photo.

Those interested in participating can click here and click Citizen’s Police Academy. The form can be submitted electronically by saving it to the computer first, completing it and emailing the completed form to Officer Remo D’Alessandro at socialmedia@parpolice.com.

Applications also can be printed out and mailed to: Parsippany-Troy Hills Police Department, Attn: Patrolman Remo D’Alessandro, 3339 Route 46, Parsippany, New Jersey 07054.

Please note that the application instructions referring to the electronic submission and “clicking Submit Application” only apply to the application found on the website.

For more information or to receive an application by mail, call Patrolman D’Alessandro at (973) 263-4383.
