Our Goal

The Dunwoody Citizens' Police Academy is part of the community policing efforts of the Dunwoody Police Department. Each week, the class focuses on a specific division of the Police Department, giving students an overview of the Department's duties and responsibilities. Some of the units covered are:

  • Community Outreach
  • North Metro SWAT
  • ChatComm 9-1-1 Center
  • DeKalb County Jail
  • Criminal Investigations
  • Uniform Patrol

The program is open to Dunwoody residents and Dunwoody business owners 21 years of age or older. Applicants must be willing to submit to a criminal history check and a driving record check prior to being accepted as a Citizen’s Police Academy student. Applications must be submitted in person at Dunwoody Police Headquarters, which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
