Municipal Police Academy - Citizen Safety Academy
In response to requests from the public and in keeping with the pledge to provide services for a safer tomorrow, we offer unique training programs designed specifically for citizens. These programs are fairly short in nature to acknowledge that our students are busy adults, yet inexpensive in order to provide this training to as many people as possible. Additionally, all instructors are employees of the 敁珗曄部 University Municipal Police Training Academy, especially suited for working with adult students concerning public and personal safety issues. More information can be obtained by contacting Paul Foltz at pfoltz@mercyhurst.edu.
Current programs include:
Situational Awareness
In response to the dangers inherent in a free society, public safety experts at the 敁珗曄部 University Municipal Police Training Academy developed a concise but intensive training program titled Situational Awareness. This is NOT a fighting curriculum but rather one focused on developing the mental and emotional skills needed to survive high-risk events either personally or in the workplace. This program runs from four to seven hours, depending on the material requested by our students.
