The Chaska Police Department has restarted its Citizen Academy. The academy is a six-session program, in which people learn about police work in Chaska by experiencing police work. Lectures and actual hands-on experiences are combined for a unique insight into the police department. The classes are held on Tuesday nights from 6 to 8 p.m. and are free.

The police department is providing the academy to increase partnerships in the community and create opportunities to receive feedback from participants to improve our delivery of services.

Those who are interested in participating in a future academy can contact Officer Janke at (952) 448-4200 or via email at jjanke@chaskamn.com.
