LCF, La Crescenta Residents Graduate from Community Academy
The six-week course focuses on the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department's operational procedures, as well as sessions ranging from criminal law to search and rescue operations.
Fourteen community members from La Crescenta and La Cañada have received their certificates of completion of the Crescenta Valley Sheriff Station’s Community Academy Class, authorities said.
During the six-week program, the Academy students volunteered their time to learn about the Crescenta Valley Sheriff’s Station and the local deputies, Deputy Jorge Valdivia said in a press release. The program explained the Sheriff Department’s operational procedures, and taught the participants about criminal law, as well as search and rescue procedures.
Participants went on ride-a-longs and saw the deputies in action. Additionally, they went on a tour of Men’s Central Jail in Downtown Los Angeles and had a tour of Sheriff’s Communication Center in East Los Angeles.
