The Linn County Sheriff’s Office is offering a Citizens Academy session for the Spring of 2018. The thirteen week course will be held on Tuesday’s from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Linn County Sheriff’s Office in Albany. This interactive and educational program will begin on Tuesday, April 3rd, with a graduation ceremony on Tuesday, June 26th. The course is designed to improve citizens’ understanding of the workings of the various areas of the Linn County Sheriff’s Office and to gain a deeper understanding of how we are organized and operate. The atmosphere at the Citizens Academy is fun and informative with classes being taught by Sheriff`s Office team members.
Citizens Academy participants are introduced to each division and specialty team within the Linn County Sheriff’s Office including Patrol, Corrections, defense tactics, traffic enforcement, narcotics investigations, Search and Rescue, Communications/Dispatch, Animal Control, work crew, prisoner transport and emergency vehicle operation. In addition, we will also host a Saturday Range Day session where students will learn firearm fundamentals and safety, and have the opportunity to participate in live fire exercises.
