Applications available for next LPD citizens police academy

LEWISTON — The Lewiston Police Department’s citizens police academy is a unique opportunity to engage with and be informed about services provided by the department. The academy provides an inside look over the day-to-day operations of the department, providing time to discuss current issues taking place within Lewiston and its interactions with other communities, and to ask questions related to law enforcement.

The 10-week program will meet every Tuesday, Sept. 5 through Nov. 14, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the police department, 171 Park St. The exception is Halloween, Tuesday, Oct. 21. Applications are available in the department’s lobby or can be emailed to interested individuals. For more information, contact Officer Joe Philippon at jphilippon@lewistonmaine.gov (preferred) or at 207-513-3010.
