Prospect Heights Police Department Citizens Police Academy

The 2022 Prospect Heights Citizen Police Academy is an ten-week program offered to residents and those who work in the City of Prospect Heights. The academy is designed to offer participants a general understanding of the mission, values and operations of the Police Department. The academy offers hands-on experiences and insights into the nature of police services.

Upon completion, it is the goal of the Police Department that academy graduates possess a better understanding of the services provided by the Prospect Heights Police Department. Graduates will also be given the opportunity to join our Volunteer Program which assists the Police Department in providing additional nonemergency services.

The Academy is open to Prospect Heights residents at least 18 years old and must pass a criminal background check.

Classes run September 26th - November 28nd, Monday nights, from 6:30pm-8:30pm at the Prospect Heights Police Department located at 14 E Camp McDonald Road.

The Citizen Police Academy is free but limited in space. Applications are accepted year round.
