APPLICATIONS ARE BEING ACCEPTED FOR THE 2023 CITIZENS POLICE ACADEMY!

The Schertz Police Department Citizens Police Academy is a 10-week course available to interested residents and business members in the Schertz community. The program is designed to give awareness and information about the role of law enforcement and to increase the rapport between citizens and police officers. This course allows police officers to serve as instructors and provide scenarios and roleplay while giving citizens a view of what law enforcement is all about.

The class is held one evening each week from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. During the course, you will learn the basic information that all police officers must know to perform their jobs, such as criminal investigations, use of force, communications, DWI procedures, and much more.

Admission to the Citizens Police Academy is open to anyone 18 or older, and all applicants must pass a background check. The class will fill up fast, so make sure you get your applications in by Wednesday, March 1 at 5:00 p.m.

Applications can be picked up from the police department or downloaded at Schertz.com/CPA.

Sewer averaging for the winter months began November 1, 2022, and will continue through March 15, 2023, for cycle billing.

Water usage over this period determines your sewer charge for the next billing year, which begins April 1. The water usage readings will be averaged and the average per thousand-gallon usage per month will be multiplied by $4.94. The final calculation result will be your sewer charge for the next 12 months.

If you get your bill on the 10th day of the month your calculation period will be November 1 to March 1 and if you get your bill on the 25th day your period will be November 15 to March 15.

RESIDENTS WITH AN AVERAGE BELOW 12,000 GALLONS

That total will be added to the base rate of $15.01 for residents with an average below 12,000 gallons.

RESIDENTS WITH AN AVERAGE GREATER THAN 12,001 GALLONS

The first 12,000 gallons will be multiplied by $4.94 and the portion of the average above 12,000 gallons will be multiplied by $11.33 and that total will be added to the base rate of $15.01 for residential use.
