BGPD Citizen Police Academy wants you to see behind the scenes

10-week first-hand interactive learning

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Ever wanted to learn how the Bowling Green Police Department operates? Now is your chance!

The Bowling Green Police Department Citizen Police Academy gives the community a chance to take an inside look at the department with full transparency.

For those in the 10-week program, officers will take you on a police ride-along and share what investigations look like. Also, you can see what equipment investigators use, what community resource officers access and even what exactly your tax dollars are funding. 

The two-hour long meetings fall on Monday nights, and starting next Monday, folks will learn from the patrol officers and hear from hostage negotiators.

Be sure to check out the BGPD’s Citizen Police Academy qualifications if you’re up for a first-hand interactive experience with your BGPD.
