Course Information

Description

The Community Police Academy (CPA) provides community members with an up close and personal look at police work and the Morgan Hill Police Department. The CPA is designed to inform community members about our Police Department's policies and procedures, foster community partnerships, and provide safety awareness by allowing community members to participate in practical police training and education. The Community Police Academy does not train community members to be future police officers.

The CPA meets one night each week for approximately three months. Registration is open to community members and consists of submitting a CPA application and consenting to a background investigation check. Applicants who have been accepted into the CPA will be notified by the Program Coordinator and specific session details will be given at that time.

At the conclusion of the Community Police Academy, community members who have completed the program are given the opportunity to become a member of the Volunteers in Policing (VIP) program. The VIP program is an active partnership between the Police Department and community members. VIPs are utilized for crime prevention programs and various community services.

College Application Process

College Application Process

This program is presented through the South Bay Regional Public Safety Training Consortium of Community Colleges (SBRPSTC), which includes Gavilan College, Monterey Peninsula College, Ohlone College, Hartnell College, Lake Tahoe Community College, College of San Mateo, and Cabrillo College.

Only courses and programs presented for college credit will be funded, transcripted and certified through one of the above accredited institutions.

Funds generated through this process offset the costs of each course, thereby reducing student fees for the student/agency and allowing us to present more courses. Consequently, we require all students taking one of our college-based courses to apply to the designated college using OpenCCC, the online college application system by which the majority of community colleges collects registration and transcription information.

Students will receive reservation confirmation and class information along with college application instructions approximately 45 days before the class starts. If applicable, students will also be required to complete the college application process and submit a South Bay Registration Form, to include the OpenCCC and applicable College ID numbers no later than 30 days before the class start date.*Additional fees will apply to Non-College Registered Students. Contact our main office at (408) 229-4299 for specific amounts.
