The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office has opened registration for next month’s Community Academy.
It’s a free course that DCSO says provides an in-depth look at what the sheriff’s office does and how its divisions work.
There will be classroom instruction, a tour of the jail and the search and rescue facility. DCSO said participants can also go on a ride-along with the patrol and attend an optional Saturday session to get hands on training in law enforcement scenarios and emergency vehicle operations.
