Citizens Police Academy

The Trophy Club Police Department (TCPD) hosts the Citizens Police Academies (CPA) each year. The CPA teaches residents about the “real” world of Law Enforcement and how the TCPD operates in Trophy Club. Classes run for 8 weeks and will not only educate residents but also dispel myths that many of our citizens hear around Town from friends and neighbors, as well as address the sensationalism seen on the television. Come learn what Community Policing is all about and how our style is different from other towns.

Training

If there are questions that you have always wanted to ask, this is the place to come. Some of the topics will include:

• Patrol/traffic operations

In addition, participants will learn how investigations are conducted and what actually goes on around Trophy Club.
