Applications are now open for the spring 2025 session of San Ramon Police Department's Community Academy, for those who live or work in San Ramon.
SRPD's Community Academy is a free 14-session course held in a classroom setting with a mix of lecture, demonstrations and hands-on activities.
The academy is taught by police officers and department personnel in their area of expertise. Weekly three-hour classes cover a range of topics including patrol, criminal investigations, traffic stops, crime scenes, narcotics, DUI enforcement, use of force, officer safety, community policing, and defensive tactics. The Community Academy will take field trips to the Marsh Creek shooting range and the Contra Costa Sheriff's Office high speed driving course.
The goals of the program are to create closer partnerships with the community, explain law enforcement procedures, and to discuss the importance of public involvement in the policing process. There is no cost to attend the program and the only commitment is your time.
The program is open to adults age 18 and up who live or work within the City of San Ramon.
Space is limited. All applicants will be carefully screened via background check.
Completed applications may be mailed, faxed to (925) 838-2925 or dropped off at the San Ramon Police Department, 2401 Crow Canyon Rd, San Ramon, CA 94583.
The Spring 2025 Academy is scheduled to begin February 12, 2025, with graduation on May 7, 2025. Classes will be held Wednesdays 6 - 9 p.m., plus two Saturday sessions (date and time to be determined).
