SMPD hosting Police Academy

SMPD hosting Police Academy

SAN MARCOS POLICE DEPARTMENT

Ever wondered what really happens behind the scenes at a police department?

The San Marcos Citizens Police Academy gives you a firsthand look at how our officers train, respond and serve the community. This is a behindthe- scenes experience, not a hiring or recruiting program.

You’ll spend 11 classes learning directly from SMPD officers about patrol operations, investigations, traffic enforcement, firearms training, driving scenarios and real-world decision making.
