Community Academy XXX coming up

by The AV Times Staff • February 21, 2014

LASD logoThe 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 30th Community Academy.

The purpose of the Academy is to build a better understanding between the community and the Sheriff’s Department through education.

This program will focus on the Sheriff Department’s operational procedures, as well as sessions ranging from criminal law to undercover operations.

Participants will also go on a ride-a-long, tour a custody facility and participate in role-playing exercises.

The class is absolutely free and meets for eight weeks, from March 24 through May 12, 2014.

Classes will be held Monday evenings, from 6:30 to 9 p.m., at the Aero Building, located at 38256 Sierra Highway in Palmdale.

If you are interested in participating in the upcoming Community Academy, go to the Palmdale or Lancaster Sheriff Station and pick up an application at the front counter.

Applications can be obtained and returned at:

Palmdale Sheriff’s Station
750 East Avenue Q
Palmdale, Ca. 93550

OR

Lancaster Sheriff’s Station
501 West Lancaster Blvd
Lancaster, Ca. 93534

Attn: Community Relations

Due to the limited classroom space, only the first 50 applicants will be accepted; therefore you will be notified only if you are selected. Those applicants who are eligible but are not enrolled in the academy class will be placed on a list for possible future selection.

For more information, contact Deputy Jodi Wolfe at the Palmdale Sheriff’s Station at 661-272-2520 or by email at jewolfe@lasd.org, or contact Sgt. Theresa Dawson at the Lancaster Sheriff’s Station at 661-948-8466 or by email at TADawson@lasd.org.

    yes right me up for this one.
    I never could of made it to the real academy, this is as close as I can get.
    I love to keep my community safe, and free of grime.
    this will be very helpful, to my everyday living in the A.V.
    I pray for our Sherif’s safety.
    God send his Angles to protect them, and give them wisdom.
    I encourage all to do this onos in a life time.

    I did the community academy back in 2002…. It was really interesting, jail tour, ride along, used the radar gun on cars to see how they worked, shooting range….. I have no idea what all they do now…. Hope you have a good time if you get picked, learned a lot on what law enforcement deals with on a daily basis.
