MILWAUKEE POLICE CITIZEN ACADEMY - The Document of Understanding, Legal Police Power and your role as a Citizen Police Academy Participant or Graduate -The Milwaukee Police Department and the City of Milwaukee offer the Milwaukee Police Citizen Academy as a service to the community. In doing so, we hope to educate our citizens as to the role, work and duties of the members of the Milwaukee Police Department.

Please do not construe that this experience, in any manner, constitutes a legal authorization for you to act as a sworn police officer. The Milwaukee Police Department and the City of Milwaukee expect that any citizen who participates in this program, who is a witness to a crime or violation of law seek the assistance of the police. The Milwaukee Police Department and the City of Milwaukee further expect its academy participants and graduates to never attempt to handle matters normally dealt with by sworn law enforcement officers by themselves.
