The Inver Grove Heights Police Department is now accepting applications for the Citizen Academy Program.
IGH PD Citizen Academy program is designed to offer citizens an inside look into the IGH PD’s operations. We invite you to participate and learn more about IGH PD, including:
- Tour and history of the police department
- Functions of patrol, investigations, SWAT, negotiators, physical evidence team, bike patrol, traffic & K-9 units
- Review of typical calls for service
- DWI demonstration
- Traffic stops, normal and felony stops
- Officer survival, use of force
- Laws of arrest
- Searching and handcuffing a suspect
Additional Information
The academy classes are taught by IGH PD Officers and sessions are generally held once a week for about 8 weeks. We ask that you make a commitment to attend each session.
After the successful completion of this program, citizens will be given an opportunity to ride-along with an IGH PD Officer during their shift.
