The CPA is free of charge, and class size is limited to the first 12 applicants.  Applications will be processed as they are received.  Applicants must be Oakwood residents or employed in the city of Oakwood, at least 21 years of age, and pass a limited background check.  Automatic disqualifying criteria would include any prior felony conviction, sex-related offense, or conviction for a defined misdemeanor crime of violence.
