The Senior Police Academy is a program developed by Wayne’s Community Policing Unit and Chilton Medical Center’s New Vitality. The program is made possible by a grant from the Wayne Alliance. It has proved to be extremely successful and won national recognition in 2003.
The program is now offered by the Passaic County Sheriff’s Office and Chilton’s New Vitality. During the 4-week course, participants learn about defensive driving and pedestrian safety, fraud and scams directed at seniors, crime prevention and gang awareness, 911 communications, and prescription drug/alcohol abuse.
