Hi,

I just wanted to spread the word, that we are conducting an upcoming Citizen’s Police Academy here at the Sheriff’s Department. I try to let our Community Watch Programs know about this, so that maybe a few of the residents would like to come and learn about how law enforcement functions and why we make the decisions we make. It is very informative and open to the public. It is 6 weeks long from 8 am till noon. Below is an agenda so you can forward the information that will be taught.  If you have any questions, please free to contact me at 575 386-4316. To apply, anyone can go to our county website at www.donanacounty.org/sheriff, scroll down to Citizen’s Police Academy and the application can be printed and filled out. It then can be returned to the Sheriff’s Department. It is a great experience. Please pass the information on to as many people as you can…Thanks
