What's It Like Being A Cop? Register for TAPD 'Citizens Academy'

There's no question being a Police Officer is one of the toughest jobs there is. But how curious are you? Curious enough to do a course called the Texarkana Arkansas Citizens Police Academy?

Don't worry, you won't have to make any actual arrests or be put in truly harmful situations, but you will have a much better understanding of what Officers of the law go through on a daily basis when it's all said and done.
