The sessions will be held on Tuesday and Thursday mornings:

At the Russell House
900 First Colonial Road
Virginia Beach, VA 23454
A graduation ceremony will be held on the last day.
The Virginia Beach Senior Citizens’ Police Academy provides an excellent opportunity for senior citizens, who work and live in the City of Virginia Beach, to become familiar with the day-to-day operations of the Police Department. This will enable participants to gain a better understanding of the procedures, guidelines, responsibilities, demands, personnel, equipment, policies, and laws that guide the department’s decisions. It is not intended to make citizens into police officers, but allows citizens to learn more about police operations. Citizens will become informed as to the actual role of the police, and in return, the police will benefit from the wealth of knowledge the citizens can give about their community. Subjects that are discussed in the Academy include:
Crime Prevention
Senior Safety/Triad/S.A.L.T. Special Investigations/Narcotics/Vice Mounted Patrol K-9 Office of the Commonwealth’s Attorney Public Information Office
|
- The History of Law Enforcement
Patrol Functions Forensics Basic Criminal Law Special Operations Detective Bureau Crime Solvers Virginia Beach 9 -1 -1
