Summer camps aren’t just for kids. The Rio Rancho Police Department’s citizen police academy is normally held one night a week for eleven weeks, but next week the department is bundling the program into a weeklong summer academy for adults.

Participants will learn about department operations including K9, SWAT, investigation, crisis intervention and crime scene investigations.

To help adults with child care needs, day care is provided.

The academy runs 8 a.m.-noon June 23 through June 27.

Interested participants must complete an online application no later than Thursday June 19.
