During the past two decades, many American police departments have developed Citizen Police Academies. These programs are intended to improve police-community relations, to educate the public, and to further the implementation of community policing strategies. Despite their widespread use, fewefforts have been made to empirically evaluate Citizen Police Academies. This study examines the impact of one Citizen Police Academy program by surveying past programparticipants. The results show that although the Citizen Police Academy satisfied the department’s objectives, the majority of participants entered the program with positive views of the agency. These findings are iscussed in terms of the program’s overall impact within the community.
