  UB to hold police academy

  The UB Police Department is seeking recruits for its annual Citizens Police Academy.

  The program, which will meet every Wednesday evening for seven weeks starting Feb. 15, is designed to give members of the university community an in-depth look into the workings of their police department and increase awareness of police officers’ role in the criminal justice system.

  There are a limited number of spots available.

  Classes are conducted in an interactive setting taught by University Police officers and other public safety professionals. Subjects include fire and first aid, New York State penal law, traffic and accident investigations, criminal and crime scene investigation, and family offenses and domestic violence. Participants will have the opportunity to accompany University Police on a patrol ride-a-long, along with other hands-on activities.

  For more information and applications for the Citizens Police Academy, access the University Police website, call 645-2228 or email Lt. Dave Urbanek at urbanekd@buffalo.edu.
