Blaine Citizens Academy is an eight-week course designed to introduce residents to the structure and daily operations of the Blaine Police,
Fire and Community Standards departments that comprise the City of Blaine Safety Services Division.
The fast-paced academy provides both classroom and hands-on training, offering a fun and safe behind-the-scenes look at the functions of the Safety Services Division
while allowing participants an opportunity to perform tasks otherwise reserved for police officers and firefighters.
Safety Services professionals will conduct and oversee simulations like felony traffic stops, motor vehicle extrication and firefighter training exercises to show participants first-hand the pressure, hard work and satisfaction associated with working in Safety Services.
