Citizens Academy - Your City Government... Up Close & Personal

The Citizens Academy, first held in winter 2007, is designed to give participants a first-hand look and in-depth understanding of how city government functions in Midland. Patterned after the Midland Police Department's successful Citizens Police Academy, the Citizens Academy is a free program that explains the municipal services provided by the City of Midland, how its governing process works, and how citizens can participate in that process.

Through a series of evening sessions, residents learn about the responsibilities of City departments and the services they provide to the community. Through presentations and facility tours, participants gain a better understanding of the role Midland city government plays in the quality of life that Midlanders enjoy.
