SAUGUS — The Saugus Police Department is once again accepting applications for its Civilian Police Academy. 

Meant to give residents insight into the department’s inner workings, the program is a free, eight-week course that shows civilians what it’s like to be a police officer. 

“This is a fantastic opportunity for citizens to learn about all aspects of police work and leave with a true representation of services provided by the Saugus Police Department and Town,” said Interim Police Chief Ronald Giorgetti in a press release from the Town Manager’s Office. 

Every Wednesday starting March 4, attendees will learn about police work, including patrol procedures, juvenile and drug problems, firearm safety and awareness, recruit and continuing training, use of force, defensive tactics, and much more. 

In addition to classroom work, students will also have the chance to accompany officers for a ride-along observation and tour of the Middleton House of Correction. 

“We are proud to offer this free program to the residents of Saugus and to give them the opportunity to gather insight into what it’s like to be a police officer in Saugus,” Town Manager Scott Crabtree said.

The program is for adults 18 and older. Interested residents must complete an application, which can be found online at www.sauguspd.com under the “forms” tab. Applications are due no later than Wednesday, Feb. 19, and can either be hand-delivered to the front desk of the station’s 27 Hamilton Street address or emailed to [email protected]. 

For more information, residents should call Detective Sergeant Paul VanSteensburg at 781-941-1105.
