Last Thursday was Week 3 of the Citizen's Police Academy. Every class covers a different part of the Odessa Police Department, and this session focused on the Training Division and Community Relations Department.
OPD's Training Coordinator, Lt. Caleb Lacey, and one of OPD's Community Relations Officers, Cpl. Michael Hamilton, spoke about their units and the importance of them both. The class also received a tour of the Odessa Police Department and our amazing Training Facility!
