Who can apply
The Seoul Autonomous Police Commission is recruiting up to 80 Seoul residents for the seventh Citizens' Community Policing Academy. Previous participants are ineligible and tuition is free. The application window is October 16–November 5, 2026, with results due by individual text on November 6. Apply using the Google Form linked from the official gov.seoul.go.kr announcement or its QR code; verify that the form originates from that page before sharing personal details.
Three classes
The course has three 14:00–17:00 sessions from November 10 to 24:
- Tuesday November 10: Community policing, self-defense exercises and opening.
- Tuesday November 17 OR Thursday November 19: Seoul police headquarters and local station visits, shooting-range activities.
- Tuesday November 24: Scam/smishing prevention, emergency response and graduation.
The detailed official text states three sessions. A poster also says 'twice weekly for three weeks,' which conflicts with its explicit dates. Use Nov 10 + one of Nov 17/19 + Nov 24, then reconfirm with the organizer. Locations may include Dongguk University, Seoul Police Agency and police facilities, but the exact meeting point for each date is not confirmed in the notice.
Practical notes
The announcement mentions certificates and souvenirs for graduates, and two volunteer hours for participation in the second-week field class. Live vacancies and an individual's acceptance are not confirmed. Questions: 02-2133-9818.
