(KNSI) – Several area police departments are coming together to offer classes that teach residents about police training and procedures.
The Metro Citizens Police Academy, ran by the Stearns County Sheriff’s Office and the police departments of St. Cloud, St. Joseph, Sartell, Sauk Rapids and Waite Park, is made up of one four-hour class on Thursday evenings through eight weeks in September and October.
St. Cloud Police Sergeant Tad Hoeschen says the program goes over much of the same information that police officers learn about during training.
“We really believe in that experiential learning, so we have them do some of the things,” Hoeschen said. “We actually go out to the driving academy and they do pursuit driving.”
