The Marion County Sheriff’s Office Citizens Academy and Partnership program, a free 13-week educational course about the operations of the sheriff’s office, is currently accepting applications for classes beginning in September.
During the program, Marion County Sheriff’s Office staff will highlight all units within the Sheriff’s Office, giving citizens an in-depth understanding of what the agency is doing for the community. Each week will focus on a different aspect of the agency, personnel, equipment, policies, and procedures plus a great time in meeting new people in the class.
