A group of 14 community members from La Crescenta and La Canada Flintridge just completed a six week Crescenta Valley Sheriff’s Station, Community Academy class.

On Monday,14 local community members received their certificates of completion of the Crescenta Valley Sheriff Station’s Community Academy Class. They volunteered their time to learn about our Crescenta Valley Sheriff’s Station and most importantly their local deputies. The program focused on the Sheriff Department’s operational procedures as well as sessions ranging from criminal law to search and rescue operations. Participants went on ride-a-longs and saw the deputies in action. They went on a tour of Men’s Central Jail in Downtown Los Angeles and had a tour of Sheriff’s Communication Center in East Los Angeles.

The purpose of the community academy was to build a better understanding between the community and the Sheriff’s Department through education and understanding.
