Sheriff's office offers citizens law enforcement course

The Citizens Law Enforcement Academy will be sponsored by the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office on Thursdays from Aug. 23 through Nov. 8 in the evenings from 6-9 p.m.at the main Sheriff's Office, 5755 E. Milton Rd. in Milton.

Want to know more about the world of law enforcement? All too often a person's perception of law enforcement is that which is learned from crime-action television shows or movies. Although these captivate the public's imagination they are not always reality based. Even those that depict "real life" situations only reflect a small portion of reality. Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office would like to educate the local citizenry as to the internal structure of today's policing agencies and the integral part that community oriented policing is playing in the county and teach how to better protect themselves from being a crime victim, how to handcuff and fingerprint, how to report crime, and the ramifications of

committing a crime. This free course is open to residents

age 18 or older. To register for this educational and interesting class, call 983-1236.
