Coming Events

Session 75 just graduated a few weeks ago with 15 students who were eager to learn about their police department. Seeing how enrollment numbers have been going the past few classes, MCCAAA President Ken Freeman and others stepped up to the recruiting challenge and it has paid off! Session 76 will start May 6th, and it currently has 40 students enrolled. We haven’t had that number of attendees since pre-COVID, so thanks to everyone for all the hard work spreading the word about joining the Citizen Academy. The MCCAAA truly are the best recruiters. The academy is held at the Public Safety Training Academy located at 8751 Snouffer School Road in Gaithersburg.The Montgomery County, Maryland Citizen Academy (CA) began in 1994 and is an extension of the Department’s community policing efforts. Citizen Academy participants learn how the police department works, and gain a better understanding of what the department does and what is required for police officers to effectively perform their duties. Those interested in learning more about the Montgomery County Citizens Academy and applying for future sessions may contact Sergeant John Mullaney at 240-773-6900.  Session 77 will run from September to December, so if you know of anyone that might be interested in the course, please have them email the application to citizen.academy@montgomerycountymd.gov.
