PORT WASHINGTON The Ozaukee County Sheriffs Office has announced its first-ever Citizens Academy. The course is perfect for anyone who finds law enforcement interesting, has questions about why police do what they do or ever wondered how deputies or police officers are trained.

The Citizens Academy will consist of the following topics: crime scene investigation, drug trends, impaired driving, traffic stops, firearms, specialty teams, Jail, Dispatch Center, the District Attorneys Office and much more.

Academy students will be introduced to the policy and procedures that drive police behavior. Academy students will use that gained knowledge to intervene in mock scenarios. The Citizens Academy is designed to have participants understand the authority and limitations of deputies, along with a basic understanding of how to handle situations deputies deal with daily.
