Sheriff’s Citizen Academy accepting applications
Part of Washington County
Sheriff Rob Gordon’s continu-
ing effort to promote and pre-
serve a safe community
through quality service and citi-
zen involvement, includes the
Citizen Academy, a 50-hour
training program that combines
classroom and “hands-on” in-
struction. The classes provide
an opportunity to observe how
the Sheriff’s Office works, and
include activities such as using
police equipment, participating
in jail activities and in several
role-playing scenarios.
Participants will tour the
Sheriff’s Office, and other crim-
inal justice facilities and, be-
cause the academy is an inter-
active program, student ques-
tions and comments are en-
couraged throughout. Person-
nel from many departments will
explain and demonstrate the
duties and responsibilities of
their jobs.
Topics covered in the acade-
my include officer selection and
training, various duties within
the Sheriff’s Office, jail opera-
tions, security, investigations,
tactical operations, use of
firearms, vice and narcotics,
communications, crime scene
investigations and crime pre-
vention.
The next Citizen Academy
begins September 13 and runs
through November 8. Classes
are held Tuesday evenings,
6:00 p.m.- 9:30 p.m., with two
weekend classes during each
session. Classes are typically
held in the training rooms at the
Sheriff’s Office, 215 SW Adams
Avenue in Hillsboro.
Participants must be at least
18 years-old and live in Wash-
ington County. They must also
attend at least nine of the
eleven classes offered to quali-
fy for graduation. Each acade-
my is limited to 35 students.
