Citizens’ Sheriff Academy- Applications

The Christian County Sheriff’s Office is excited to announce the dates for this year’s Citizens’ Sheriff Academy! Last year’s Academy was a huge success and we plan to build on that energy for this year’s class. This year, we will be doing two nights a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays for 3 weeks, totaling 6 nights!
This 12-hour program will be focused on educating the students on the day-to-day job of a Deputy Sheriff in Christian County, and having a little fun in the process. The classes will be held on Tuesdays & Thursdays from 6:00 pm-8:00 pm, beginning September 19th and running through October  5th, 2023.
Applicants will be educated on the duties of the Sheriff’s Office, including traffic stops, equipment, law enforcement tactics, simulated court sessions, investigative techniques, and much, much more.
This 12-hour series will be limited to 20 participants and will be free to Christian County residents.
“The goal of the citizen’s academy is to engage with the people we serve and increase their knowledge about what we do, and how we do it. We believe education comes from understanding.”, says Sheriff Tyler DeArmond.
Applications will be accepted beginning immediately, and they will be first-come, first-serve. Participants must be at least 18 years of age, be a resident of Christian County, and undergo a background check. Christian County residents can obtain an application one of two ways:

• In-person at our office located at 701 West 7^Th Hopkinsville, KY on Mon-Fri between 8:00 am-4:30 pm, or

Applications will need to be HAND DELIVERED  to the Christian County Sheriff’s Office, no later than August 28th, 2023 at 4:00pm.
*Applications turned in after that date will be added to a standby list in the order in which they were received in the event someone withdraws from the class.
To graduate, students must complete all nights of instruction.
