Citizen Police Academy

About

Each spring, the department holds a Citizen Police Academy, designed to familiarize participants with department operations. 

Many academy graduates go on to become members of the Marshalltown Police Citizen Volunteers. During the ten-week program, the participants learn about several programs and divisions such as the K-9 Unit, precision driving, weapons, crime scene processing and evidence, traffic stops, building searches and much more. Class instruction consists of lecture, hands-on, or question and answer sessions about department operations.
