Hillside Police To Begin 2nd Academy Class
Citizen police academies (CPAs) have become one of the most beneficial programs developed under the community-based policing philosophy. The first CPA was showcased in Orlando, Florida, in 1985; today, they are
used across the country to educate citizens on the basics of the law enforcement profession, to bring citizens
closer to police, to recruit potential employees (both civilian and sworn), and to recruit a strong volunteer
base. The Hillside Police Department began its first citizen’s academy in the fall of 2009. We are now taking
applications for spring of 2011.
The Village of Hillside’s Citizens Police Academy is open to residents or business owners who are interested in
learning more about policing in the Village of Hillside. The main purpose of the ten week academy program
is to create a positive understanding and awareness of current law enforcement issues and
duties as they relate to the community. In addition, participants will be exposed to the tasks and hazards that
face all police officers in our community. The ultimate goal is to foster a positive community-based relationship between citizens and the department.
The program is not designed to make applicants certified police officers. Participation does not provide
graduates with police authority or the ability to act as police officers.
Call Sgt. Chuck Strebar at (708) 202-4389 for more information. The Application Form can be found on the village
Website at www.hillside-il.org.
