Looking to try something new in 2024? Join us for our annual Citizen’s Academy!
 
The Citizen's Academy provides insight into modern-day policing through hands-on training conducted by Eagan Police Officers.
 
The training includes department history, a tour of the PD, a K-9 demo, a review of typical police calls, DUI demo, narcotics presentation, a homicide investigation, laws of arrest, search and seizure, use of force simulations, a 4-hour ride along, an optional visit to our shooting range, and more.
 
The Academy is held on Wednesday evenings from 6:00 — 9:00 p.m. at the Eagan PD.  Due to space limitations, the Academy is limited to the first 25 participants that apply and pass a background check.
