LICKING COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE CITIZEN’S POLICE ACADEMY
CO-HOSTED BY THE
INSTITUTE FOR PUBLIC SAFETY AT CENTRAL OHIO TECHNICAL COLLEGE.
|
| |
| Have you ever wondered what takes place during a typical day at the Licking County Sheriff's Office, what you should do on traffic stop or the proper way to mark your property for identification purposes in case of theft? Have you ever had questions about basic law or what programs are offered by the Sheriff's Office? Now is your chance to learn everything you ever wanted to know. |
| |
| Along with the Institute for Public Safety at Central Ohio Technical College, the Licking County Sheriff’s Office is co-hosting an opportunity for you to participate in our next Citizen’s Police Academy. This is a free, 9-week program that will offer information on Patrol Operations, Victim's Rights, Sex Crimes, Basic Self Defense and much more. The classes will be held on Wednesday nights from 6:30 pm until 8:30 pm (depending on the program content). Included in the program will be a tour of the old Licking County Jail and the current Licking County Justice Center. Participants will also be given an opportunity to ride-a-long with a Deputy during the Academy and meet Basic Police Academy cadets. Graduates of the program will get a certificate of completion at a ceremony on the last day of class. |

| “I am very proud of the program that we’ve developed and feel privileged to be presenting it to our community in collaboration with Dr. Weinblatt and the Institute for Public Safety at the Central Ohio Technical College. This is an exciting partnership and opportunity for the citizens of Licking County to have positive contact with Law Enforcement in a professional, yet fun, environment and to learn about the day-to-day operations of our office,” said Sheriff Randy Thorp. |
| |
| “Law enforcement officials have a very challenging and often misunderstood role in our society,” said Dr. Richard Weinblatt, Director of the Institute for Public Safety at Central Ohio Technical College. “As an institution of learning, we are honored to be able to partner with Sheriff Randy Thorp to provide a great opportunity for people in Licking County to become educated and informed.” |
