The nine-week academy is designed to give community members an overview of the Los Angeles Police Department’s policies and procedures. The curriculum and teaching methods are similar to the traditional law enforcement academy. However, the weekly sessions are not designed to certify the participants as a law enforcement officer.

Interested community members should contact Senior Lead Officer Alessandra Moura, Community Relations Section, Media Relations and Community Affairs Group (MCG), at 213-486-6009, or email: 36688@lapd.lacity.org.
