I signed up for a Citizens Police Academy just to at least put something law enforcement related info on my resume. Are they worth going to? Is it a good way to get a "foot in the door" for a job?. Any input will be appreciated.

It can't hurt.

I completed a citizens police academy a few years ago. I learned a lot more than I thought I would. Make a good impression on the officers while you're there. Who knows, it could help you get a job. Good luck.

Good idea. Show enthusiasm. Make a good impression. Towards the end, ask to speak with the chief or a supervisor. Tell them that you would like to do some ridealongs and that you would like to be an intern. Ask them about any other opportunities they might have.
