Every February, in cooperation with other area Scott County Police agencies, the Bettendorf Police Department sponsors a Citizens Police Academy. The Academy is an eight week program designed to give each participant a basic knowledge of how their law enforcement agencies operate.

Each participant has the opportunity to fire a police issued handgun, tour the Scott County Jail, and ride along with an on-duty officer or deputy.

For more information , please contact Community Services Officer Judy Welch at 563-344-4046.
