The Maple Valley Police, Covington Police and King County Sheriffs Department offer a Community Police Academy each Spring. The departments have collaborated and designed a program to increase the understanding between community members and their police department through education. It is our hope that by the completion of the Academy, graduates will have gained a better understanding of the law enforcement role in the criminal justice system, and an appreciation for the many challenges facing law enforcement in today's complex society.
The Academy is held on Thursday evenings from 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m., starting March 28th through May 30th, at the Lake Wilderness Lodge in Maple Valley. There is no cost for this great experience.
Applicants must be 18 years old, live in King County and have no prior felony convictions. All applicants must pass a criminal history background check.
