Palmdale Sheriff's Station and Lancaster Sheriff's Station are in the process of selecting 50 AV residents to participate in the Antelope Valley’s 41st Community Academy! This program will focus on a variety of topics. 

Topics such as patrol procedures, arson/explosives, gang investigations, and DUI's, just to name a few. Participants will even get an opportunity to ride-a-long with a deputy sheriff and do role-playing exercises where YOU are the deputy! The purpose of the Academy is to build a better understanding between the community and the Sheriff’s Department through education. These classes meet for eight weeks and is absolutely free. Classes will be held on Tuesday evenings from 6:30 P.M. to 9:00 P.M., at the Palmdale Sheriff’s Station, 750 East Avenue Q, Palmdale, 93550.
