The Citizens' Police Academy is a 12 week course that meets one night per week. The purpose is to provide community insight into the operations of a modern, progressive law enforcement agency. Topics include crime scene processing, weapons, laws of arrest, traffic law enforcement, traffic crash investigation, identify theft, K-9 operations, and community policing. The academy is open to any Margate resident or any person who owns, operates or manages a business in Margate.
