The Sand Springs Police Department announced today the dates for the next Citizen’s Police Academy. The academy is an outreach effort to help citizens understand the mission and goals of the Sand Springs Police Department while having fund and making lifelong friends. The program is nine weeks long and covers aspects of police work from detective work to SWAT operations. The program is designed for citizens over the age of 18, but can accommodate people of any physical ability. The Citizen’s Police Academy was discontinued several years ago due to budget cuts within the City of Sand Springs.
