The Gorham Police Department is set to host its fourth Citizen’s Police Academy beginning March 6. Classes will be held every Wednesday from 6-8:30 p.m. through May 8. The Academy is free of cost and enrollment is limited.
The purpose of the Academy is to expose citizens to the functions of the Criminal Justice System as well as introducing and maintaining a common knowledge of the Gorham Police Department as a whole. The program will also include self-victimization awareness and hands on demonstrations. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from, interact with and ask questions of the professionals of the Gorham Police Department.
Applicants must be 18 years of age or older, reside in Cumberland County (preferably Gorham), have no prior felony arrests (or misdemeanor arrests within the last five years), and must agree to a background check.
