Past members thoughts on their participation in the Academy:

Wonderful and useful knowledge to take back to my high school students.

A fantastic experience that helped me understand the complexity of policing.

I learned so much about Anchorage that I didn't know, and I've lived here a long time!

I had a great time, learned a lot, and especially enjoyed the ride along.
