Carrie Lee, the Asheville Police Department (APD) Community Resource Officer for East Asheville, has invited Haw Creek community members to participate in the Spring 2025 Citizens Police Academy. 

The Academy teaches residents about the philosophy, policies, and guiding principles of law enforcement and ethical conduct governing police services in the community. It gives participants an appreciation for the problems and challenges facing law enforcement and creates a space where collaboration can occur.

The spring session begins March 13, with 3 hour classes every Thursday for 10 weeks, culminating with a graduation ceremony. Dinner is provided each night. In order to attend you will need to complete and submit a short application form.
