Police Education And Community Engagement (PEACE) Academy

A police officer in uniform speaks, using hand gestures, alongside two men in casual attire. The scene appears to be a community meeting, conveying a serious tone.

Redlands Police Department believes that lasting community relationships are rooted in mutual understanding and open communication. To foster this connection, RPD proudly offers the Police Education and Community Engagement (PEACE) Program (formerly called the Citizen Informational Academy). This initiative is designed to maintain strong relationships between residents and law enforcement through education, dialogue, and meaningful interaction. Participants will have the opportunity to meet local officers and gain insight into the department’s structure, operations, and day-to-day responsibilities.
