The Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office Public Safety Academy is back and slated to start on March 26! Held every Tuesday night from March 26 through May 14, the academy offers a wonderful opportunity for Gallatin County residents aged 18 and older.

From 6 to 9 p.m., participants will delve into the realm of law enforcement, experiencing firsthand the rigors and rewards of keeping their community safe. Best of all, this experience is entirely FREE.

Engage in immersive exercises including mock traffic stops and drug buys, mastering field sobriety maneuvers, and delving into crime scene management and evidence collection techniques. Aspiring participants can also seize the chance to ride along with seasoned deputies, observe the precision of a 911 dispatcher, meet our exceptional K-9 partners, and so much more!

“We are thrilled to welcome members of our community to the Public Safety Academy. It’s an incredible opportunity to foster understanding and collaboration between law enforcement and our residents,” said Gallatin County Sheriff Dan Springer.
