Academy Information
The Midlothian Police Department will present its 28th Citizen’s Police Academy. The previous 27 academies have been very successful and the department hopes to improve upon the popular program. The purpose of the Academy is to give citizens an opportunity to learn about police work in general and also gain insight into the Midlothian Police Department. The Academy is free and will be held on Thursday nights from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm for ten weeks starting September 14, 2023, and ending November 30, 2023. (We will take a break for Thanksgiving) The Academy is available to all citizens who live or work in Midlothian, Texas, and to those 16 years of age with parental authorization. The Academy will meet in the Midlothian Police Department at 1150 North Highway 67, Suite 300, Midlothian, Texas 76065.
During this ten-week course, Officers from the Department will instruct citizens in several areas including Law, Crime Prevention, Investigations, Traffic, Crime Scene, Departmental Procedures, and Lethal and Non-Lethal Firearms training and orientation. The focus of the curriculum is to provide a comprehensive, informative overview of police operations. This forum will certainly be an effective and successful way to build a partnership between the community and the police department.
