2nd Annual Sheriff's Citizens Academy

Comfort Edition

Ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at the Kendall County Sheriff's Office? Here's your chance to find out and have some fun doing it!

This academy mirrors our Joint Law Enforcement Citizens Academy that we co-host each spring with the Boerne and Fair Oaks Ranch Police Departments. If you weren't able to attend that one, this is your second chance! Tailored specifically for the Comfort community, this fall session is designed with you in mind.

We're excited to bring back the Sheriff's Citizens Academy to the Comfort community this fall! Whether you're a true crime junkie, a curious citizen, or just someone who wants to know what it's like - this FREE academy is for YOU.

What's it all about?

This 10-week academy pulls back the curtain on everything from patrol procedures to criminal investigations, DWI enforcement to polygraph exams (yes, they're real!), and even includes a K9 and narcotics demo that's always a crowd favorite. You'll also dive into topics like fraud/scams, mental health, and participate in realistic law enforcement scenarios that'll give you a new appreciation for the job.
