Citizen's Police Academy

Sheriff A. A. “Tony” Lippa, Jr., announces that the Caroline County Sheriff’s Office will hold its inaugural Citizens Police Academy beginning September 10, 2009.  The goal of the Caroline County Sheriff’s Office Citizens Police Academy is to provide a better understanding between you, the citizen, and your Sheriff’s Office, through education and exposure to the inner workings of the agency.  Students are not trained to be police officers.  Rather, they are informed and trained about each aspect of law enforcement.  Students will learn the inner workings of law enforcement.  Topics covered will include patrol, criminal investigations, court services, communications and special teams.

 “I am excited about this new venture and plan for it to be an annual event.  This is another opportunity for our men and women to show their dedication, professionalism, and commitment to our county,” stated Sheriff Lippa.  The Caroline County Citizens Police Academy will be a thirteen week course that will be held on Thursday nights from 6:30p.m. - 9:00p.m. and an occasional Saturday at the Community Services Building on Richmond Turnpike just south of Bowling Green.  The academy is open to Caroline County residents and business owners, 21 years of age and older.
