"The
police are the public and the public are the police. The
police are only members of the public who are paid to give
full-time attention to duties that are incumbent on every
citizen in the interest of community welfare and existence."
- Sir Robert Peel 1868.
The goal of the Cedar Park Citizens Police Academy
is to increase the understanding between the citizens of
Cedar Park and the police. This is accomplished by educating
citizens on the inner workings of their police department,
which is reflected in the motto, "Knowledge through
Experience".
