In Denton County, Sheriff Tracy Murphree is opening the doors to the community through the Sheriff's Office Fall Citizens Academy, a program aimed at providing a deeper look into the law enforcement processes and challenges faced by officers. Lasting 12 weeks, the academy will run sessions every Monday evening starting from 6:30 to 9:00 pm, as announced by the Denton County Sheriff’s Office.

The initiative is part of a broader effort to fully engage citizens and foster a more transparent relationship between the public and the law enforcement community. This program is a unique opportunity for residents to get to look behind the curtain and understand the inner workings of their Sheriff's Office. Past academies have covered topics from criminal investigation procedures to patrol tactics, aiming to demystify the complex responsibilities shouldered by law enforcement officials.

For those interested in participating, further details and enrollment options can be found through the contact provided in the Sheriff's Office announcement. Deputy Nivens is the point of contact and can be reached via email at [email protected] for those seeking to attend the upcoming Spring Citizens Academy.
