Twice a year, the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police sponsors an opportunity for members of the community to become closely acquainted with the roles and responsibilities of the Police Bureau. The Pittsburgh Citizen’s Police Academy (CPA) brings the police and the community close together in a setting that offers a sample of police training to each participant.
The next session of the Citizen’s Police Academy will begin September 8, 2008, at the East Liberty Presbyterian Church, located at 116 S. Highland Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA, 15206. The program will be held each Monday evening, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. for 15 weeks. This is part of the on-going plan to offer the CPA outside of the Bureau’s training academy facility. Class size is limited to 30 participants.

On August 9th, the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police, Pennsylvania State Police and Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office will be hosting Operation S.O.A.R. (Safe Operations are Your Responsibility) at Lot 1, Heinz Field at the corner of Art Rooney Ave. and W. General Robinson St from 9 AM to 4 PM.
This one day seminar is designed to educate the public with laws that pertain to towed vehicles, commercial vehicles, licensing requirements, weight of vehicles, and more. Newly licensed drivers are encouraged to attend, and the public is encouraged to bring trailers to the event so that officers may provide hands on training on properly outfitting vehicles for safe operational transport.
In the days and weeks following the event, an aggressive enforcement campaign will commence throughout Allegheny County. So, get your vehicle safe today!
