The Flower Mound Police Department is now accepting applications to its popular Citizens Police Academy.
The 10-week course is free to Flower Mound residents and explores the inner workings of FMPD. Classes begin March 28 and will meet Thursdays from 7 to 9:30 p.m. and one Saturday from 9 to 11:30 a.m. at the Police Department, 4150 Kirkpatrick Lane.
The citizens police academy provides information and hands-on experience in law enforcement practices such as recruitment, training, narcotics, firearms and crime scene analysis, according to FMPD. Residents will also gain a better understanding of the different divisions within the Police Department including Traffic, SWAT, Patrol and Criminal Investigation.
