Many thanks to all who forwarded the announcement posted Deaf Network
\nSeptember 6, to friends, family and colleagues. This is a reminder for all
\nto send in their applications as soon as possible for the first CPA for our
\ncommunity. We realize that 12-weeks is a significant commitment and an
\nexcellent opportunity as recognized by the invitations from Deputy Chief
\nRhonda Robertson and Major Kenneth Flynn:<\/p>\n

The Fort Worth Police Department invites you to attend the Citizen Police
\nAcademy that begins October 4, 2011. We recognize that everyone is busy, and
\nagreeing to attend the twelve-week course is a significant commitment of
\nyour time. However, we believe this opportunity to gain knowledge about your
\npolice department will be worth the investment. We hope to see you there.<\/p>\n

Deputy Chief Rhonda Robertson
\nFort Worth Police Department<\/p>\n

The Fort Worth Police Department’s Citizens Police Academy (CPA) is an
\nexcellent opportunity for the citizens of Fort Worth to learn, in detail,
\nhow and why the police department functions as it does. I am excited that
\nour police department is making the Citizens Police Academy available to the
\nDeaf and Hard of Hearing Community. The CPA is not a new program, but we
\nwill be presenting it in new ways and will be learning new skills in the
\nprocess. The Fort Worth Police Training Division staff and I are committed
\nto the success of this program and look forward to an enjoyable shared
\nlearning experience.<\/p>\n

Major Kenneth Flynn
\nFort Worth Police Department<\/p>\n

The CPA for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing was announced during the Community
\nForum held Tuesday, June 21, 2011. Also, during the Forum, Fort Worth
\nPolice Chief Jeffrey Halstead shared his personal story:<\/p>\n

Chief Halstead spoke of his mother, who had passed away August 2010. He
\nexplained that she had been assisted by hearing aids for many years. While
\nChief Halstead may not have fully realized all the challenges his mother
\nfaced, he is learning much from Fort Worth\u2019s deaf and hard of hearing
\ncommunity and those of you, who have participated with us from other cities.<\/p>\n

So, believe this is real. Believe it is happening, and believe you have and
\ncan continue to make an important contribution. Join us on October 4, 2011:<\/p>\n
