Text Box:        The members of the Dennis Police Department would like to invite the citizens of Dennis to participate in the Citizen's Police Academy.  The objective of this program is to allow the citizens to learn about and observe first hand the workings of their police department.  Participants will be instructed by the members of the department in a variety of subjects.  These subjects will be taught in various settings and will include a ride-along.  The key to the success of this program is the enthusiasm and participation that the citizens bring to our Citizen's Police Academy.      The Citizen's Police Academy will be held at the Dennis Police Department once a week for ten weeks.  Sessions run from 6:30 pm to 10:00 pm.   Some of the classes may be held at other locations.  Each student may participate in a ride-along with an officer during his patrol.  We would like all students to attend every class but we do understand that sometimes this isn't possible.  In order for students to graduate, they must not miss more than two classes.    Sergeant Mark Conant, Director Citizen Police Academy           Text Box: SESSION #1      INTRODUCTION ·         Government Overview ·         Role of Police in the Community ·         Your Police Department ·         Community Policing ·         Tour of Police Station SESSION #2      THE LAW ·         Constitutional Law ·         Search & Seizure ·         Powers of Arrest ·         Massachusetts Declaration of Rights ·         Statute Law ·         Case Law ·         The Courts SESSION #3      THE PATROL FORCE  Functions ·         Patrol Procedures ·         Selective Enforcement ·         Drunk Driving ·         Bike Patrol ·         Radar Enforcement ·         Breathalyzer SESSION #4     INVESTIGATIONS ·         Juvenile ·         Elder Services ·         Child Neglect & Abuse ·         Domestic Investigations ·         Drugs SESSION #5     THE USE OF FORCE ·         Definition of Force ·         Department Policy & Procedure ·         Defensive Tactics              Text Box: SESSION #6     COMMUNICATIONS ·         Dispatch/Telecommunications ·         E-911 ·         Radio Procedures ·         Incident Command System ·         Emergency Operations Center SESSION # 7     MEDICAL TRAINING ·         CPR Familiarization ·         Mental Health Issues ·         Handling Emergencies SESSION # 8     FIREARMS ·         Introduction to Firearms ·         Range Safety ·         Firearms Familiarization SESSION #9     LIVE-FIRE This session allows the participants to shoot  the firearms that are carried and used by the Dennis Police Department.  Firearms Include: ·         .40 Caliber Pistol ·         12 Gauge Shotgun ·         .40 Caliber Rifle ·         Bean Bag Shotgun ·         .357 Revolver SESSION #10     GRADUATION ·         Questions & Answers ·         Crime Statistics ·         Course Critique ·         Presentation of Certificates
