Sign up for Kane County Citizens Police Academy
Join the Kane County Citizens Police Academy, hosted by the Kane County Sheriff's Office, for a 10-week course providing citizens with an opportunity to learn how policing works in their own community and offering each participant a behind-the-scenes perspective into the many facets of law enforcement.
Each course topic is developed and led by a seasoned sheriff's deputy. This course is a resource for the teachers, community leaders, neighborhood watch leaders, elected officials, or students pursuing a degree in criminal justice.
