For 25 years, the Eagan Police Department has opened its doors and welcomed residents to learn about the law enforcement world. Almost 700 Eagan residents have spent their evenings getting to know the officers who keep the city a safe place to live and work. Past participants give the Citizen’s Academy rave reviews, and the program has become one of the police department’s favorites to host.
“This is a great chance for Eagan residents or those who work in Eagan to get an inside look at the police department and learn about law enforcement procedures,” says Police Chief Roger New.
Participants in the 2023 academy will have a chance to meet our K-9 officers, learn about tasers and how they are used, go on a ride along, observe DWI testing, tour our SWAT truck and command vehicle, follow an investigation, and learn about police techniques and policies in heightened scenarios, and more.
The police department will begin its 2023 Citizen’s Academy on March 1, 2023. The program is eight weeks long and meets on Wednesday evenings from 6 – 9 p.m. at the Eagan Police Department, 3830 Pilot Knob Road.
