17:27 SANTA CRUZ-Santa Cruz Police Department Citizen’s Police Academy Begins on January 24th, 2017. This year the Santa Cruz Police Department offers one academy in English and one in Spanish. The classes provide an inside look at the department, and offers participants an opportunity to learn about how police investigations work, what traffic unit does, demos from the K9 program and even driving a police car. SCPD has been proud to offer CPA to our community since 1998. For information about the Citizen’s Police Academy contact Officer Leo Gomez at lgomez@cityofsantacruz.com.
