Attend the citizen academy
This eight-week program is designed to give participants insight into public safety and the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office. It is open to the public and free. Participants must be 18 years of age or older.
The program runs one night a week for 8 weeks and includes visits to our facilities around the county, including the Public Safety Facility (jail) and Emergency Communications Center (911 dispatch).
The 2025 Citizens Academy will take place in the fall, dates to be determined. Applications are being accepted now.
