Linn County Sheriff Michelle Duncan is pleased to announce applications are currently being accepted for citizens of Linn County to take part in our upcoming Fall Citizens Academy!

The Linn County Sheriff’s Office Citizens Academy offers a unique and detailed look into the dynamic operations of the Linn County Sheriff’s Office! The Academy is open to any qualified and interested Linn County citizen.

Our Fall Citizens Academy will run from September 14th through November 30th. Classes will be every Wednesday morning from 9AM-12PM. There will also be one Sunday “field trip” to the firearms range and Animal Control Department, with that date to be determined later.

Citizens Academy students are introduced to each of the Sheriff’s Office divisions and specialty teams. Participants receive classroom instruction and hands-on training in areas such as patrol, detectives, corrections, firearms, defensive tactics, traffic enforcement, narcotics investigations, swift water rescue and dive recovery, prisoner transport, and search and rescue.

The atmosphere at the Citizens Academy is fun and informative. Classes are taught by our dedicated Sheriff’s Office team members. The minimum age for attendees is 18 years of age, however, applications will be considered for those as young as 16-years-old, provided they attend and take part in Citizens Academy with their parent or guardian.
