    Eden Prairie residents and workers have until Monday, Aug. 11, to apply for the Police Department’s 2025 Citizens Academy, a free, six-week course offering a behind-the-scenes look at local law enforcement.

    The academy runs Tuesday evenings from Sept. 16 through Oct. 21, 5:30 to 9 p.m., and covers topics such as traffic enforcement, DWI enforcement, use of force, 911 communications, SWAT operations and investigations. Each session includes a light meal followed by instruction.

    Applicants must be at least 21, live or work in Eden Prairie, commit to attending all six sessions, and pass a basic background check. Space is limited; participants are chosen by lottery.

    The program is funded by the Eden Prairie Crime Prevention Fund.
