Week 8: The Tampa Citizen Police Academy

    The Mark & Carrie Experience
    Graduation
    WOW did the 8 weeks of classes go by fast!!! We made great new friends and have a new respect for our Tampa Team Police Officers. We hope that you also enjoyed following our experiences in the Citizens Police Academy.
    Tampa’s famed Chief of Police Jane Castor, District Majors, staff, students family & friends were all there for our Special Graduation Ceremony.
    Thanks to the Columbia Restaurant who catered the graduation event with a special menu and a graduation cake. The newly appointed Citizen Police Officers and their families laughed at the classes videos the corporal made during our weekly seminars. Tazing, police car chases, shooting, SWAT team exercise and our ride alongs were in the often funny moments DVD.
