The Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station will be hosting a "Community Academy" that starts next month. The academy will meet Monday evenings from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. beginning May 6, 2019, and concluding on July 1, 2019.  Please note that field trip days may be longer. 

The Sheriff’s Community Academy offers a limited number of community members the exclusive opportunity to learn about every aspect of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. The Community Academy will focus on how deputies serve our community and the inner-workings of community protection within the Santa Clarita Valley.
 
The eight sessions will cover topics such as patrol procedures, jail operations, detective bureau investigations and gang/ narcotic enforcement. Two of the sessions will include field trips to one of the Sheriff’s Department maximum security jails and a “Shoot Don’t Shoot” simulator.
 
Interested community members should contact Deputy Natalie Hidalgo via email at [email protected]. There is limited space available and only 20 applicants* will be approved and accepted for the upcoming academy.  The last day to submit applications for the Community Academy will be Monday, April 29, 2019.  
 
*NOTE – Applicants must be 18 years of age before the start of the academy and must live or work in the Santa Clarita Valley.  Applicants must not be involved in any criminal process or have felony convictions.  All applications are subject to approval of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
