We are now accepting applications for Montgomery County citizens to participate in our Citizens Academy. The Citizens Academy was established in 1997 to educate the citizens of Montgomery County on how the Sheriff’s Office operates and to promote public safety among our community members. Classes are designed to be interesting as well as informative. Citizens are given an opportunity to ride with a Deputy on patrol, tour the Montgomery County Detention Facility, volunteer at community events, and train on the Firearms Training Simulator. The Citizens Academy is a FREE 6-week course that meets on Monday evenings from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at our office, located at 115 South Perry Street. All material will be discussed during the meetings and neither homework nor physical activity is required.

Requirements:

• Resident of Montgomery County
• At least 21 years of age or older
• Pass a criminal background check
• Attend weekly meetings
