The Citizens Police Academy is designed to give you a behind the scenes, in-depth look into the everyday happenings of the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office, and it begins Jan. 14.
The classes run each Wednesday from Jan. 14-March 18. Dinner is served at 5:30 p.m. and the classes begin at 6 p.m. at the County Service Center, 2201 Hogback Road in the Jury Assembly Room.
