Presented by the Bartow Police Department in partnership with the Greater Bartow Chamber of Commerce, the Bartow Police Department Business Police Academy offers local businesses the opportunity to learn more about the Bartow Police Department and actively participate in building strong relationships with BPD.

The curriculum consists of discussions regarding Department organizations, use of force, business security, narcotics, search and seizure, traffic enforcement, internet crimes, and more. Attendees will be offered the opportunity to go to Bartow Police Department’s interactive simulator and each class member will have a chance to “ride along” with an on-duty police officer.
