The Lawton Police Department has kicked off the second week of its Citizens Police Academy, and the excitement is palpable! This 13-week program gives residents an insider’s view of law enforcement through engaging sessions. Last week, participants got a first-hand look at the department’s Uniform Patrol Division and learned about the daily responsibilities of officers who patrol the streets.
Not only do residents gain insights into what police officers face daily, but they also explore the rich history of the Lawton Police Department itself. The goal here is clear: bridge that gap between law enforcement and the community. It’s not just an educational experience; it’s about creating connections and understanding the dynamics that keep the community safe.
As the sessions unfold, one can only wonder what other secrets of police work will be revealed. This program could give you a new appreciation for the men and women in blue—bonus points if it helps you avoid a speeding ticket someday!
