Concord has extended the application deadline for the Public Safety Academy until 5 p.m. Thursday.
Space is limited and on a first-come, first-served basis.
“The City of Concord believes in creating partnerships with the citizens who live and work in our community,” City Manager Brian Hiatt said in a statement. “We believe this partnership keeps our quality of life at a high level and allows us to provide the best municipal services possible.”
The 2012 course will give residents and business owners the opportunity to interact first-hand with staff members in the Concord Communications, Fire and Life Safety, and Police Departments. The course will allow citizens to learn about the functions of Concord’s public safety departments, meet staff, and help evaluate the services the city provides.
The 10-week academy runs from Monday through April 16. Classes will be held each Monday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Four classes will be taught by the Concord Department of Fire and Life Safety and will include presentations on the various services provided as well as how everyone can be safer in their daily lives.
The Concord Police Department will present four classes on all functions of the organization and give an in-depth look at its community policing philosophy .
One class will be presented by Concord’s Communications Department and will explain what happens when you call 911 or request any service from the public safety departments. The 10th week will be a graduation dinner to honor academy participants.
