Hayward Police Department’s Community Academy goes virtual in April
The Hayward Police Department is offering special online sessions of its Community Academy program in English and Spanish over four weeks this April.
The Hayward Police Department’s Community Academy is a certified educational program designed to give community members a working knowledge of how the Police Department is organized and operates in Hayward. Goals include developing partnerships between the Department and community members, and promoting open lines of communication.
Community Academy participants also will receive information on the City’s Neighborhood Alert Program and how to become a Neighborhood Alert Block Captain, as well as about the Department’s Volunteers in Police Services (VIPs) program.
Community Academy sessions are held once a week on a designated evening for two hours. In April, the English-language Community Academy is scheduled to be held from 6 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. on Wednesdays, April 7, 14, 21 and 28. The Spanish-language Community Academy is scheduled to be held from 6 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. on Tuesdays, April 6, 13, 20 and 27.
