Have you ever wondered...
...why do police officers block a whole lane of traffic when they make a traffic stop?
...why do we need a S.W.A.T. Team and what do they do?
...how do you dust for fingerprints?
If you would like answers to these questions or others like them, then the Citizen Academy may be for you!
The Citizen Police Academy was established to promote an understanding of the Chino Police Department and its policies and procedures.
