This course covers virtually every aspect of law enforcement work — administration, recruiting, patrol operations, communications, investigations, vice and narcotics, youth and safety programs, traffic and criminal laws, jail operations and more.

In addition to classroom training, CLEA students are given the opportunity to participate in a series of practical exercises.

Our goal is not to teach the student how to become a law enforcement officer, but rather give the student an insight into the duties and responsibilities of our deputies.

Classes will be held one night a week for 12 weeks, from 6:30pm until 8:30pm. All applicants need to be able to commit to attend the twelve sessions of this academy.

Applicants must be a resident or business owner in Douglas County. You must be at least 21 years of age, and give consent for a background check as part of the application process. There is no fee for this class.
