The Evanston Police Department Citizen Police Academy program was started in 1994 which makes this our 25th year. The upcoming fall session is our 50th Class. We are currently accepting applications for our Golden Class.

The program gives participants a closer look at the Evanston Police Department and policing as it relates to Evanston. Some of the topics include criminal investigations, traffic procedures, gangs crimes, defensive tactics and much more.
