New Citizen Police Academy program to start in January

The Cuero Citizen Police Academy’s 16--week education program will start with weekly classes Tuesday, Jan. 20.

Coordinator Joshua Serbin said he is hoping to make the 2026 registration the “big- gest class yet.” Serbin is a senior patrol officer for the Cuero Police Department who manages the program.

The Cuero Citizen Police Academy is a free, educational program that gives community members a closer look at the Cuero Police Department’s day-to-day operations, policies, and challenges. Students will also hear various presentations from other first responders, local mental health professionals, and local prosecutors.
