We know you will enjoy the ten weeks of informative packed sessions,  demonstrations and practical application with hands-on experience. In order to efficiently cover the multitude of topics in this program, the information is presented in a fast-paced, yet comprehensive format. Students are not cadets and will not at any time identify themselves as an employee of the City of Albuquerque, or as a peace officer trainee. If you have any concerns or questions during the course, please contact Lieutenant Paul Feist, Coordinator of the Introduction to APD CSI program (information at bottom of page).

2. ATTENDANCE: You are expected to attend all sessions. The class coordinator has the discretion to approve absences in advance. We understand that emergencies do occur. If you are unable to attend a session, please call. Last minute absences can be reported the following day.
