I did this a few years ago and it was fun and educational. You meet some great people, learn about police procedures, try to solve a crime (a past crime), shoot some range pistols if you like and you even get a cool shirt that makes people think you're a cop. But don't push that or you may end up in jail academy.

I too went thru the Citizen's Police Academy with the highlights for me being able to control the robot that picks up "suspicious packages" and places them in the detonation chamber and doing ride-alongs with actual patrolling officers. The world looks a lot different when seen thru the windshield of a patrol car. It also dispels the notion that all crime labs look like the CSI tv versions - ours is far from that tv depiction The tour of our 911 call center is a great eye-opener too..

I graduated from the Citizen's Police Academy in June at City Hall. The classes were very educational. I met some great people as well. I've signed up for the Fulton County Citizen's Court Watch Program this month. Then maybe the Citizen's Fire Academy later this year. AND IT'S ALL FREE!

Some tribes in Sudan and Senegal http://www.coachoutletonlinexc.net/ Coach Factory Outlet have an average height of 6-foot-6, which also happens to be the size of the average NBA player. People in Nigeria, http://www.louisvuittonoutletam.net/ Louis Vuitton Purses Mali and Congo tend to be very big and physical. We need to build a strategy to go into these regions http://www.coachoutletstoreze.com/ Coach Factory Outlet and cultivate the talent through infrastructure and instruction.Not long ago, soccer in Africa was almost http://www.guccibeltsoutletds.net/ Gucci Belts the same way. It was untapped.Kids in Africa start kicking a ball when they are six or seven years old, if not younger. http://www.coachfactoryonlinefn.net/ Coach Factory Outlet It's like baseball, basketball and football in America. If you're talented, people will find you. That's what http://www.coachfactoryonlineae.com/ Coach Factory Outlet happened with soccer. The number of academies has grown rapidly, and people are really into it. As a http://www.coachoutletb1.com/ Coach Factory Online result, nearly every major soccer team has a lot of African players.Through my experience as a Nigerian player, http://www.coachoutlethcs.com/ Coach Outlet Online coach and now NBA executive, I believe basketball can follow a similar path. It starts with building facilities. We need http://www.coachoutletonlinegc.com/ Coach Outlet Online to start investing in outdoor courts and indoor gyms for kids to play.
