Academy Structure
The Department conducts one Academy class per year, usually in the fall. The Academy meets once a week on Wednesdays from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Laconia Police Department unless otherwise noted.
During the 10-week program, students will be taught by police executives, veteran police officers, civilians and volunteers from the law enforcement community. The participants will have the opportunity to meet with the Chief of Police and staff members. Students are encouraged to participate and ask questions and express ideas and concerns to their instructors. Applicants will be asked to commit to full attendance of all scheduled classes.
