Members of the 2nd Citizen's Police Academy

LINCOLNTON –- The Second Citizen’s Police Academy graduated recently with an academy dinner and awards ceremony.  The academy began in early September with 28 students chosen from those who submitted applications and cleared a background check.

 During the course, the class was schooled on court procedures, criminal investigations, narcotics investigations, domestic violence, crime prevention, juvenile procedures, weapons and use of force, patrol procedures and community policing.  The instructors for the session were state and local officers and officials who deal with each course subject on a daily basis.

 Citizens got a valuable insight on how police officers perform their duties and how the Sheriff’s Office serves the community.

 First Sergeant Erin Long, who coordinated the program said, “Just like the first Citizen’s Academy this one was a tremendous success.” 

 Another Citizen’s Academy will be held in the spring of 2009.
