Following the first very well-received Citizen Police Academy (CPA), the Gorham Police Department is planning to hold its second class starting in April. It will run for ten weeks on Tuesday nights from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m.
The class will cover items such as patrol procedures, juvenile justice, community policing, communications and reporting, traffic violations, firearms training, personal safety, court, probation and corrections, domestic violence and the new marijuana laws. Applications are available online here.
This is a unique opportunity to better understand the workings of the Police Department and the many issues that officers face in their day to day work. Attendees of the first CPA conducted last fall gave high marks. Participant Don Sedenka commented, “I thoroughly enjoyed this experience and found it to be both educational and beneficial. I recommend it to all Gorham citizens.”
