The Marion County Sheriff’s Office Citizens Academy and Partnership is now accepting applications for upcoming classes that will begin in September.
The program, a free seven-week educational course about the operations of the sheriff’s office, will be held on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., beginning on Tuesday, September 20.
During the program, MCSO staff will highlight all units within the sheriff’s office to give citizens an in-depth understanding of what the agency is doing for the community.
Each week will focus on a different aspect of the agency, personnel, equipment, policies, procedures, and overall function. Students will have an opportunity to view specialty unit equipment, hear from experts in the field of law enforcement, investigations, detention, and administration.
Classes will be held at the Marion County Sheriff’s Office multipurpose room, which is located at 3300 NW 10th Street in Ocala. To apply for this program, please visit the Marion County Sheriff’s Office webpage to fill out an application.
