Mountlake Terrace Residents complete Citizens Police Academy More than a dozen people recently graduated from the Mountlake Terrace Police Department's second Citizens Police Academy. The 13 graduates spent three hours a week for 12 weeks learning the inner-workings of the police department. They toured the 911 dispatch center, rode along with patrol officers and watched the department's police dog scour the City Council chambers for hidden drugs. They also learned about issues such as domestic partner stalking and the process of collecting evidence. The Mountlake Terrace Police Department Citizens Academy is open to adults and teens at least 16 years old who are accompanied by a parent. More info: 425-670-8260.
