Citizen Police Academy
Thursdays, March 26 - May 28, 6:30-8:30 p.m.
The Citizen Police Academy is a 12-week course designed to
educate the community on police protocol and procedures. These
classes are taught by police officers and intended to provide
citizens with an insider’s view of the Georgetown Police Depart-
ment’s day-to-day activities.
Sessions take place on Thursday evenings, beginning promptly
at 6:30 p.m. and ending at 8:30 p.m. Most classes will be held in
the training room of the Public Safety Operations and Training
Center (PSOTC), located at 3500 D. B. Wood Road, Georgetown.
This unique course will be the very first to be held in this new
building, which features state-of-the-art A/V equipment. Some
classes may also take place off-site.
CLASSES AND TOPICS
In past CPA courses, topics have included Calling 911, Emer-
gency Response Team (ERT/SWAT) Reactions, Texas DPS, Texas
Rangers, Williamson County Sheriff’s Office K-9, Interview and
Interrogation, Warrants/Municipal and Teen Courts, District and
County Courts and Magistrates, Juvenile Justice, Georgetown
Police Honor Guard, Hostage Negotiations, and Crime Scene
Investigations.
Chief Nero typically teaches a class in “Use of Force.” It covers
topics such as weaponry (lethal and non-lethal) available to officers
and a police perspective of when force is called for and why. In
light of current national headlines, this class can sometimes be a
genuine eye-opener, providing citizens with a more multifaceted
understanding of officers’ use of force.
Another significant class is “Shoot/Don’t Shoot.” In this session,
attendees engage in an interactive, life-sized video in which they
become a police officer. Armed with a laser weapon, participants
must decide in different situations if and when to shoot, offering
citizens an accurate depiction of what officers face every day.
