  • To educate the public in how the police department operates and why law enforcement officials do what they do. 
  • To provide Bellaire Police Officers the opportunity to meet and hear from the citizens they serve. 

Participants are introduced to all aspects of law enforcement, including:

  • History of the Bellaire Police Department
  • The hiring process
  • Patrol Division
  • Dispatch
  • Firearms/Less than Lethal
  • Criminal Law
  • Crash Investigation
  • Traffic Stops/High Risk Stop
  • Drone Operations
  • Criminal Investigations Division

The class will meet on Tuesday nights and will run approximately 10 -11 consecutive weeks from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm.
