This January Arlington is expanding our speed safety camera program to help improve compliance with 20mph speed limits in school zones. Do your part by slowing down, it can save a life.

Through an immersive, multi-week experience, participants will gain knowledge and understanding of how police officers are trained, their daily work environment, and the wide scope of work they perform in service to the Arlington community. The program includes lectures, panel discussions, question and answer sessions, and hands-on experiences, including a special session at the Northern Virginia Criminal Justice Training Academy. Classes are presented by Departmental leadership, sworn and civilian staff from across the agency and government partners. Participants will engage in thought-provoking discussions, including those about current events and effective policing practices, and can ask questions of presenters throughout the program. Some of the topics covered in the CPA curriculum include recruitment, legal considerations, use of force, mental health, interventions, homeless outreach, community and youth outreach, criminal investigations, the K9 unit, tactical operations, and patrol operations.

Additional information and a link to the application (due by January 26) can be found in our Newsroom: https://www.arlingtonva.us/About-Arlington/Newsroom/Articles/2025/Police-Now-Accepting-Applications-to-the-29th-Community-Police-Academy?transfer=f0654b53-2bbd-4e33-af4e-c24ab3b23d41
