Citizens Academy

Sweet Home Police Department is seeking participants for a one-day Citizen’s Academy.

Once 10 to 12 have signed up, the department will work with the participants to set a date for the six-hour program.

During the Citizen’s Academy, participants learn about a wide variety of topics related to law enforcement. They also have the opportunity to use MILO, a life-size video simulation of law enforcement situations.

Applicants must go through a light background check prior to acceptance into the program.

For more information or to sign up, call the Sweet Ho...
