The Palmdale and Lancaster Sheriff’s Stations are in the process of selecting 50 interested residents from the station areas to participate in the Antelope Valley’s 32nd Community Academy.

Participants will also go on a ride-a-long, tour a custody facility and participate in role-playing exercises.

Greetings,
My name is Sassan Shakoori, I just wanted to express my appreciation to Palmdale/Lancaster Sheriff’s Station for offering this wonderful program and give the neighborhood’s residence this wonderful opportunity to learn and be part of the law enforcement. As a candidate of the Resreve Deputy program, I would love to join these classes. Currently I am in the pre-academy program at COC, and that is how I found out about yourh program. I am also in the VOP Program with Santa Clarita Sheriff’s Station.
Due to the time restriction, I wanted to find about possibly being able to attend to some of these classes. Could you please let me know if that is possible. I live in Santa Clarita, so I would have to bare the long drive as well.
Thanks again,
Sassan,

Write some traffic tickets, people drive horrible here.

I agree, isn’t it against the law to drive and text? I see it happening everyday, even pedestrians, paying more attention to their cell phone conversations than where they are going.
