The Oswego Police Department would like to invite you to attend our Citizens Police Academy (CPA). The CPA is a unique chance to see and experience the inside workings of your police department. Various Oswego Police Officers will introduce you to their world by sharing their areas of expertise and interest. Areas of discussion include:

• Patrol Tactics
• Traffic Enforcement
• Narcotics Investigations
• Street Gangs
• Court Procedures
• Search and Rescue
• Accident Reconstruction
• Crime Scene Investigation (CSI)
• Weather Spotting
• SRT (SWAT Team)
• Dispatching
• Hands on Practicals

The CPA is designed for anyone who is interested in helping to keep this community safe and crime free. Our goal is to foster better cooperation and communication between the Oswego Police and the citizen’s we are sworn to protect by showing you why we do things the way we do. We solicit citizen input as well.

The CPA is open to any Village resident or people who maintain property or a business in the Village. Applicants must be at least 18 years of age. There is no fee and class size is limited to 20 participants.

Classes run for 13 weeks and are held on Wednesdays from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Oswego Police Headquarters, located at 3355 Woolley Rd. All classes will be held in the Community Room in the front glass classroom of the Police Headquarters.
