Inside Look At Policing: East Windsor Citizen’s Police Academy Returns This Spring

EAST WINDSOR, CT — East Windsor residents have a chance to get an inside look at how their police department operates this spring, with enrollment now open for the department’s third annual Citizen’s Police Academy.

The eight-week program will begin in late March and run through mid-May, offering weekly evening sessions led largely by in-house personnel from the East Windsor Police Department, according to a department announcement.

Classes are scheduled to begin Monday, March 23, and conclude May 11. Sessions will be held every Monday from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at the East Windsor Police Department Annex, located at 25 School St.

Academy seats are reserved first for East Windsor residents, though out-of-town applicants may be considered if their community does not offer a similar program.

Participants will receive educational materials and instruction covering a range of topics, including patrol operations, detective work, training and academy standards, and police accountability, according to the East Windsor Police Department.

Those interested can apply online through the department’s registration form. Questions about the program can be directed to Deputy Chief Murphy at Murphyb@Eastwindsor-ct.gov.
