The Sheriff's Department New Academy

In partnership with the Rancho Santiago Community College District (RSCCD), the Orange County Sheriff's Department will hold a grand opening ceremony of their newest Regional Training Academy next week on September 11, 2007.

Built by RSCCD with the financial support of Measure E, the new 52,000 square-feet facility will be able to train up to 800 students annually, compared with just 300 in the old academy.  This will be the biggest and newest law enforcement academy in the County of Orange.  Students at the academy will be trained under the direction of both the Sheriff's Department and Santa Ana College.

Sheriff Michael Carona and Supervisor Bill Campbell are a few of the dignitaries expected to be at this grand opening ceremony.
