Citizens Academy

In March of 2005, the Middleton Police Department hosted its first ever Citizen's Academy.  

Applications are now being accepted for the 2026 Citizens Academy set to start on Wednesday, March 25th, with most classes scheduled on Wednesday nights from 6:00pm to 9:00pm.  The academy is open to anyone who lives or works in the City of Middleton, and offers residents the opportunity to learn more about the Middleton Police Department by partaking in hands-on classes similar to those taken by police officers.  The class will be presented by officers with the Middleton Police Department.

Students in the Middleton Police Department Citizen's Academy will receive training in the areas of Traffic Law Enforcement, Crime Scene Investigation, Defensive and Arrest Tactics, Emergency Vehicle Operation, Emergency Medical Response, Firearms, Fire Department Response, Police-School Liaison and other Basic Police Procedures.
