Press release from: Clackamas County Sheriff's Office

Citizen's Informational Sheriff's Academy now accepting applications for 2010 session

Posted: Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2009

Want a first-hand look at how the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office works? We're now accepting applications for our 2010 Citizens Informational Sheriff's Academy (CISA).

CISA is an amazing experience. It gives members of the community an education on Sheriff's Office functions -- fostering positive relationships between deputies and the community. Through facility tours, simulator training, and interactions with deputies and command staffers, participants come to understand the various challenges and decisions faced daily by our deputies.

Click here to read a series of stories, printed in the Clackamas Review, about one reporter's experiences in CISA. It gives you a great sense of the excitement that's in store for participants.

Even though citizens attending the Academy are given information in numerous police-related subjects, the graduates are not prepared for nor expected to conduct any police services.

More information and application forms can be found online right here, or by calling (503) 655-8819.
