The South Fayette Township Police Department successfully launched of our very first Citizens Police Academy this spring.
The eight-week program was designed to strengthen the connection between officers and the community. A variety of activities and presentations provided residents with an interactive, behind-the-scenes experience that enhanced knowledge and understanding of police operations.
Academy participants learned how to use a Taser, conduct fingerprinting and even use virtual reality to simulate traffic stops and police incidents. Graduates left with a deeper appreciation of the professionalism and dedication of our public safety team.
Our police department programs reflect the township’s ongoing efforts to build trust, foster transparency and ensure that South Fayette remains a safe, welcoming place for residents, businesses and visitors.
