Oak Brook police have resurrected their Citizen Police Academy for the first time since 1997.
“I believe it was discontinued because of a lack of interest, but he had a couple of calls from residents who were interested,” said Erica Huff, support services officer.
As of Monday, 13 people had signed up for the academy, which is scheduled to start Sept. 5. Academy classes are slated to meet from 7 to 9 p.m. for nine consecutive Wednesdays at the Oak Brook Police Department, 1200 Oak Brook Road.
“We’ve been very pleased with the response,” said Huff, who added about 20 people can be accommodated for academy classes.
