Step Inside Sheriff’s Office – Your Chance to Experience Law Enforcement Up Close

Ever wondered what it’s really like to be behind the badge? The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office is now accepting applications for our Fall Citizen’s Academy — and there’s still time to grab your spot!

Beginning Sept. 4, this 12-week journey (11 weeks of immersive training plus a graduation celebration) will meet Thursday evenings from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. and give you exclusive, hands-on access to the inner workings of HCSO.

This isn’t your average classroom. You’ll:

• Step into our campus and see the high-level instruction our deputies receive.
• Get behind the wheel of a patrol vehicle and navigate a precision driving course.
• Visit the range to learn about our firearms and less lethal platforms.
• Meet our K-9 partners and learn how they track, detect, and protect.
• Learn about drone operations, the different situations they are deployed, and a demo.
• Gain insight into the law, specialized equipment, and much more.

Whether you’re a lifelong Hamilton County resident curious about how your Sheriff’s Office operates or someone considering a future in public safety, the Citizen’s Academy offers an eye-opening, unforgettable experience.
