The Vancouver Police Department is accepting applications for its next Neighbors on Watch academy, which are due by March 7.

The six-week academy runs April 17 through May 22. Participants will meet once a week to learn skills, such as CPR, observation techniques and strategies to be a good witness. Volunteers work with police officers, and they’ll gain knowledge of crime trends and investigative tactics, the police department said.

People can apply at www.cityofvancouver.us/government/department/vancouver-police-department-vpd/vpd-volunteer. Volunteers must be at least 21 years old, live in Vancouver and be able to pass a background check.
