Palmdale, Ca.- Have you ever wanted to know the "HOW" and "WHY" about Law Enforcement?

The Lancaster and Palmdale Stations are hosting a Community Academy, and we want you to participate! The Community Academy will begin Wednesday, August 6th, 2025.

Lancaster and Palmdale Sheriff Stations are looking for 50 community members to participate in our Antelope Valley’s Community Academy. This program will focus on the Sheriff Department’s operational procedures.

Participants will go on a ride-a-long, tour a custody facility and participate in role-playing exercises. The purpose of the Community Academy is to build a better understanding between the community and the Sheriff’s Department through education.

The class will meet for eight consecutive weeks from August 6th through September 24th, 2025. The class is absolutely FREE and will be held on Tuesday evenings from 6:00pm to 9:00pm, at Legacy Commons, located at 930 East Avenue Q-9, Palmdale.

If you are interested in participating in this FREE class, please stop by either Lancaster or Palmdale Sheriff’s Station lobby and ask for an application at the front counter. All applications MUST be turned in to either station lobby in person. The cutoff date to submit an application will be Wednesday, July 30th, 2025.

Due to the limited classroom space, only the first 50 applicants will be accepted, and only those who qualify will be contacted. Applicants who are eligible but are not enrolled in this academy class will be placed on a list for future academies.

Remember, space is limited! Make sure you get to participate in this incredible, unique opportunity by submitting your application today!
