Program Overview

Application and Waivers

The Yeadon Citizens Police Academy will create a challenging atmosphere, and provide residents/cadets with an inside look at what it takes to be a police officer. This program will create confidence, self-discipline, physical security and fitness awareness, and foster team-building mindsets, while bringing you into the world of policing. Instructors are police officers with a strong desire to open lines of communication with those we swear to protect and serve, to create positive police and public interactions, so that a deeper understanding of policing can serve to foster a stronger bond with citizens and their police officers.

Applications must be submitted by Monday, September 13, 2021 for consideration.

Applications may be submitted via email to apaparo@yeadonpd.org or drop off your application in person to Yeadon Borough Police HQ at Church Lane and Baily Road, Yeadon, PA 19050.
