MANCHESTER, NH – If you’re a fan of CSI or just curious about how the Manchester Police Department operates from the inside-out, you’re the perfect candidate for the upcoming session of Citizens Police Academy.

Applications are now being accepted.

The 26th session is scheduled to begin September 21. All classes will be held on Wednesday evenings from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Manchester Police Department, 405 Valley St. Manchester.

The eight-week program is designed to inform residents about the role of the police department within the community, and includes a classroom format with some limited participation.
