The Sheriff’s Senior Citizen Law Enforcement Academy is an eight-week course presented by the Cook County Sheriff’s Office which professionals from the Sheriff’s Office as well as local law enforcement agency officials educate participants on a variety of important topics, ranging from Crimes Against Seniors and Basic Police Functions to Gang and Drug Awareness. Seniors will benefit through a better understanding of the responsibilities of law enforcement agencies and in return this knowledge will foster better communication between seniors, the Sheriff’s Office and other law enforcement agencies.This is great, but why end it with senior participation?
The Sheriff is offering the Academy to all Cook County residents over the age of fifty. Any senior citizen organization, center or home throughout the county may host the Academy. Graduates of the Academy may choose to start or join a neighborhood watch program or possibly organize a local advisory board in their community to share the information.
