Rio Grande City Announces First-Ever Police Academy


The City of Rio Grande City proudly unveiled its first-ever Police Academy during a press conference held this Wednesday morning, January 15. This landmark initiative is designed to provide local residents with an interest in law enforcement the opportunity to pursue their dream career without leaving their hometown.


“As our city continues to grow and flourish, it’s essential that we expand and adapt to meet the needs of our community,” said Interim Police Chief Joey Solis. “The Rio Grande City Police Academy will not only train the next generation of officers but will also allow current law enforcement professionals to earn additional certifications to advance their careers and enhance the service they provide.”


The academy will serve as a resource for both aspiring law enforcement officers and current agents seeking advanced training. City leaders emphasized its role in fostering a stronger, safer community while addressing the region’s growing demand for well-trained public servants.


“Rio Grande City is taking a bold step forward in ensuring the safety and prosperity of our residents,” said Mayor Gilberto Falcon. “This academy represents a significant investment in our people, providing them with opportunities to achieve their career goals while strengthening the community they call home.”


The Rio Grande City Police Academy is now accepting applications. For more information and to register, visit www.lrgvdc.org/academy.html or call (956) 682-3481.
