he Purpose
The Jacksonville CPA was created in order to provide enough information to the citizens who attend so that they may make informed judgments about the police department and police activity. It is further hoped that the instruction will dispel suspicions and misconceptions and increase police / community rapport through this educative process. The department, in turn, becomes more aware of the needs and concerns of the community from the participants' interaction and input. It is, indeed, a two-way learning experience.
