If you live in Clermont and have ever been curious about the inner workings of your local law enforcement, the Clermont Police Department is offering an up-close look at police work, but don't expect a Hollywood production—it's real life. For Clermont residents aged 18 and over, the department is hosting an 11-week Citizens Academy starting this August at their headquarters on South Highway 27, as detailed by the Clermont Police Department press release.
According to the announcement made by the Clermont Police Department, the academy kicks off on August 8th, giving participants the chance to step into the shoes of a police officer every Thursday, classes run from 6 pm to 8 pm and attendees will engage with various aspects of police duties, providing education on the day-to-day realities the officers face and creating an interactive learning environment but remember, this is not a fast-paced thriller—it's an educational endeavor.
For those interested in signing up, more information is available on the Clermont Police Department's website or directly through the provided Eventbrite sign-up link. Sgt. Erin Razo is the point of contact for any queries before you commit to the full span of the program—it's a commitment so be sure you're ready for the 11-week dive into police life before you sign on the dotted line.
