Many people have an interest in law enforcement.
This is a unique business but also one that has been mis-understood by both it's supporters and critics. The Lake County Sheriff's Department has decided to provide a mechanism for providing accurate information to citizens about the operation of the department and law enforcement generally. The way we have elected to provide this information is through a Citizens Academy. The concept of the Citizens Academy is to provide information to citizens who have an interest in law enforcement, but not in entering it as a profession. It also is designed for those who want to take a look at the profession to help them decide if it is something they may wish to enter.
