PALMDALE/LANCASTER – The Palmdale and Lancaster Sheriff’s Stations are in the process of selecting 50 interested residents from the station areas to participate in the Antelope Valley’s Twenty-Sixth Community Academy.
This program will focus on the Sheriff Department’s operational procedures, as well as sessions ranging from criminal law to undercover operations. Participants will go on a ride-a-long, tour a custody facility and participate in a role-playing exercise.
The purpose of the Academy is to build a better understanding between the community and the Sheriff’s Department through education. The class meets for 11 weeks and it is absolutely free.
Classes will be held on Thursday evenings from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., at the AERO Institute located at 38256 Sierra Highway Suite A in Palmdale.
If you are interested in this free class, contact Deputy Robbie Royster of the Palmdale Sheriff’s Station at 661-272-2520 or raroyste@lasd.org.
Due to the limited class room space, only the first 50 applicants will be accepted; therefore, you will be notified only if you are selected.
Applicants who are eligible but are not enrolled in the academy class will be placed on a list for possible future selection.
