SAN RAMON, CA — The San Ramon Police Department is enrolling for its fall Community Academy, a 14-session course to educate the community on the ins and outs of law enforcement. Police officers and department personnel lead weekly three-hour classes on a variety of topics, including patrol, criminal investigations, traffic stops, crime scenes, narcotics, DUI enforcement, use of force, officer safety, community policing, and defensive tactics. The course also takes field trips to the Marsh Creek shooting range, the Contra Costa Sheriff’s Office high-speed driving course, and the Martinez Detention Facility.
The program will take place from Aug. 19 to Nov. 12, 2026. Classes are held Wednesdays from 6:30-9:30 p.m., with two Saturday sessions Sept. 20 and Oct. 18.
The academy is open to adults 18 or older who live or work in San Ramon. Space is limited. All applicants must undergo a background check, and the course is not available to anyone who has already taken it.
Completed applications can be mailed or dropped off at the San Ramon Police Department at 2401 Crow Canyon Road, or faxed to 925-838-2925. Any questions can be emailed to tfeinberg@sanramon.ca.gov.
