Warwick, RI- If you’re curious about the Warwick Police Department and what it’s like to be an officer, the WPD is hosting its Citizen’s Police Class for 30 people starting in March.
The Warwick Citizen’s police academy teaches the public about what the Warwick Police department does on a daily basis. The goal of this class is to build a stronger development between the police department and the community members.
