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.
