Participants will meet every Thursday evening (6:30 - 9:30 p.m.) from September 12 through November 7, 2013. The Academy is hosted at the Meridian Township Public Safety Building, 5151 Marsh Road, and will consist of lectures and active participation from attendees. Meridian Township police officers serve as the instructors for the Academy.
