Citizen Academy
content
The Pell City Police Department invites residents to its 2026 Citizen Academy, a seven-week program offering an in-depth look at police operations. Held Tuesdays from March 31-May 7, 6-9 PM, the Academy covers topics like patrol, investigations, crime scene processing, SWAT, and legal matters. Participants will also experience a jail tour and mock court trial.
“It’s always great when we get to talk about what the Department does,” said Pell City Police Chief Justin Cooper. “But it’s more important that our citizens get to experience it for themselves.”

The objective of the Citizen Academy is not to train participants to become police officers, but rather to foster a greater understanding of the diverse responsibilities of law enforcement officers and the crucial role the community plays in crime prevention and resolution. There is no charge to attend the academy.
Requirements: Applicants must be 18+, attend all sessions, and pass a limited background check. Enrollment is limited to 15 participants, accepted first-come, first-served.
Deadline: Applications accepted until March 6 or class is full.
