Yakima Police Accepting Community Academy Applications
The police officer's job is "To Protect and Serve" and one way they can do a better job of that is to build a better understanding of just they do with the community. In other words,get a peek behind the blue curtain - I'm a cop, welcome to my world.
The Yakima Police Academy is a 12-week opportunity held every Tuesday starting February 26th from 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm in the YPD Training Room, 207 South 3rd Street.
