The South Bend Citizens’ Police Academy is returning this fall.

The experience will give citizens a first-hand look at what it’s like to be a South Bend police officer and will include interactive demonstrations from some of our department’s specialty units, including patrol beats, evidence, homicide, the K-9 unit and more.

The 2022 Academy will meet for 9 weeks, Tuesday evenings, starting on Aug. 9. Space is limited.

You can submit an application now. They’re due by July 18 and the program is free.

You can go here to apply.
