CPA Graduating Class of 2017

 HISTORY

The first Citizens' Police Academy was formed in the United Kingdom in 1977. Our Service's first Academy began on March 25, 1999, and ran for eight weeks. The facilitator was Staff Sergeant Derek McElveny, who is our retired Chief of Police.
Each Academy has been structured as an interactive, information-sharing evening, similar to a night school class. Whatever a citizen?s motivation for attending, the end result will be a community member who better understands the challenges and responsibilities that the men and women of the Brantford Police Service face every day.
This year's Academy will run from Wednesday, March 25, 2020 to Wednesday, May 17, 2020 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
