Approximately 200 residents attended an open house on Saturday, Sept. 24 to see what goes on “behind the scenes” at the Danville Police Department. Guests toured the department, examined special vehicles on display and saw demonstrations of special programs, such as the K-9 unit.
“We got a lot of positive feedback,” said Police Chief Steve Simpkins. “I’m quite confident I’ll do this again next year.”
The open house also served as a recruiting station for residents interested in the Citizens Police Academy, which is expected to focus on police methods and procedures. Classes will be held over a six week period, covering a wide range of topics.
Interested parties can contact the Danville Police at 314-3704 for more information on the Academy.
