Citizens' Police Academy
The first Palm Springs Citizen's Police Academy met in 1993 and has been running continuously since then. Sessions meet once per week for 13 weeks. Each new session, the nights of the week change to accommodate the participants' various schedules.
The Citizen's Police Academy is a Community Policing project that has graduated hundreds of students from all sectors of the community -- doctors, lawyers, retirees, students, homemakers, journalists, pilots, teachers, and many others. Attendees participate in discussions about Patrol Procedures, Traffic Investigation, K-9, SWAT, Community Policing, Narcotics, Crime Scene Investigation, Internal Affairs, and many other interesting topics. Attendees are invited to experience simulated live-fire exercises at the Police Range, learn weaponless defense and handcuffing, and participate in a ride-along with a police officer on patrol.
To qualify for the Academy, you must be at least 18 years old, and have no felony convictions. There is no cost for this exciting and valuable learning experience.

SAFETY TIPS
Here are some things that will help keep your vehicles safer:
DO NOT LEAVE ANYTHING OF VALUE IN YOUR CAR THAT CAN BE SEEN BY A CRIMINAL. Car audio installed is an exception but GPS systems(including suction devices), cell phones, CDs, packages, bags, substantial amount of coins, and anything else of value MUST be removed. Many crimes are committed by someone looking to raise drug money so don't take the chance and leave anything. If you have a stereo that can be removed PLEASE take it out every night without exception
WAIT FOR GATE TO CLOSE BEHIND YOU. So many people just speed inside once the gate is open and never look back. That allows other cars or pedestrians to enter the property behind you. Take the time to pull forward and watch the gate closing. This will take an additional 15 seconds to accomplish and could help keep out potential criminals.
NEVER LET A CAR FOLLOW YOU IN unless you know for sure that the person in that car is a resident. NO EXCEPTIONS PLEASE!
REPORT ANY SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY TO THE POLICE. They are required to come out and investigate. If they should try and tell you to fill out a police report on line and you need an officer then demand an officer appear. They can not deny you that. If you should report a crime that is not in progress it does take a lower priority than something that is happening now so the wait time might be longer. If you should see anything happening to a resident or property please call 911 and report it immediately. Many residents call Jimmy G instead of the police. He should be advised only after the police have been notified.
PLEASE WORK WITH YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH CAPTAINS TO HELP STOP CRIMINAL ACTIVITY ANYTIME AND ANYWHERE IT HAPPENS!!!
Neighborhood Watch block captions have been assigned. You will see the captains walking the property and they may stop and say hello and introduce themselves. Signs are posted at both entrances to the community and also near the clubhouse.
Remember, if you see a crime in progress please call 911 immediately!
