(Le Mars) — The Le Mars Police Department will hold its second Police Citizens Academy this fall. Assistant Police Chief Justin Daale says they are wanting around 12 people to participate.

Applications are being accepted through September 30th. The Assistant Police Chief says applicants will need to pass a background check.
Scott Pagler of Hardware Hank and Laurie Peters with Floyd Valley Healthcare participated on the inaugural police citizens academy program last year. Both say it was an educational experience.
