We invite you to sign up for the Sheriff s Office Citizens Academy and experience

the excitement of law enforcement and fire rescue! The Sheriff s Office Citizens Academy

is an educational program offered free of charge to all Citrus County residents. The next

class begins on August 21, 2014 and lasts for 10-weeks. Classes meet on Thursdays at the

Sheriff's Emergency Operations Center in Lecanto and participants may choose between an

afternoon class (1-4 p.m.) and an evening class (6-9 p.m.).

The academy was designed to provide a better understanding of the entire Sheriff's

Office and show citizens exactly what we do and how we do it. Beyond that, the underlying

objective is to build an even stronger partnership between law enforcement officers, fire

rescue personnel and the people we serve.

The program agenda includes interactive instruction and demonstrations from

experienced Sheriff s Office professionals in road patrol, criminal investigations, vice &
