Ride Along with Civil Division - JCSO Citizen's Academy

I thought doing a ride along with the Civil Division would be interesting since its the Civil Process that differentiates a Sheriffs Office from a Police Department. Unfortunately I have learned that I will not be able to do a ride along with Civil.  It's not part of the Citizens Academy nor an option for graduates of the Citizens Academy. Too bad since very little time is spent on the civil process in the Citizens Academy...

Week 7 - Civil Division; Court Security; Courthouse Tours - JCSO Citizen's Academy

Week 7 is Civil Division; Court Security; Courthouse Tours... oh and Active Shooter!

Scarier than jail.........

We actually covered a lot of information last night.  So much information that I'm going to break it up in to a couple of entries: 

Lieutenant Brian Hill kicked off the class by going over Active Shooter Statistics and things we (citizens) can do if ever confronted by an active shooter. 

Captain Mike Raunig & Lieutenant Rick Newson gave an intro to Civil Division then handed off to Sergeant Brian Deer who gave a detailed presentation on the Civil Division.

Finally, Lieutenant Becky Barton, Master Deputy Carl Alvano and Deputy Lucas Eimers led us on a tour of the Courthouse and gave a spirited discussion of it's history as well as JCSO's role in providing courthouse security.

I will give each topic it's own entry.  I might even explain what I mean by "Scarier than jail..."  Still getting my pictures and stats together.  Stay tuned.  :-)
