community members. Crime Prevention, Homicide, Traffic, Gangs, SWAT, K-9,
Special Victims, Forensics, Narcotics, Vice are examples of areas to be
covered, including a hands on demonstration at the shooting range.
A graduation ceremony will take place on Tuesday, December 20, 2011, for all
participants who complete the 12-week program. Family and friends are
invited. Citizens Police Academy Graduates are give opportunities to
participate in various Fort Worth Police Department activities, including
