The Palm Beach Gardens Police Department, in cooperation with the Police Foundation, is currently conducting a new and revised Citizen Police Academy which began on April 7th, 2010. The Academy is a seven-week program where community minded citizens from Palm Beach Gardens attend a three-hour class one evening per week.
Classes are administered by the Volunteers In Police Service (VIPS) and taught by sworn Police Officers and Police Department employees.. The classes address subjects such as use of force, weapons, traffic, investigation procedures, crime suppression, identity theft, road patrol, K9, SWAT, hostage negotiations, barricaded subjects, juvenile issues, mental health issues and much more.
Week One of the Academy was held on April 7th with a full house of 20 "recruits" They learned about the departments organization structure and heard from Major Ernie Carr who heads the Administration Bureau and from Major Rick Facchine who heads the Operations Bureau.

Fingerprints are an excellent form of identification and are often used to help locate missing persons.
The Palm Beach Gardens Police Department now offers FREE fingerprinting for children of the community. The fingerprinting program is designed to create an awareness of the national problem of missing children and helps promote the prevention of missing persons within the City of Palm Beach Gardens.
The program is free of charge and is strictly voluntary. Completed fingerprints are retained by the family - the only record maintained by the Police Department is a log of the parents' and children's names.
