OC Sheriff’s Office graduates Fourth Citizens Police Academy Class

A graduation ceremony was recently held at the Oconee County Law Enforcement Center for the fourth graduating class of the Sheriff’s Office “Citizens Police Academy.” The 20 graduates along with members of their families and deputies from the Sheriff’s Office attended the ceremony which was held in the 2nd floor training room. Among the speakers were Oconee County Sheriff Mike Crenshaw, Oconee County State Senator Thomas Alexander, and Sgt. Mike McGowan, who is the facilitator of the “Citizens Police Academy.” Each graduate received a certificate of graduation, a certificate from the South Carolina State Senate and a Sheriff’s Office Challenge Coin. The Sheriff’s Office plans to hold additional “Citizens Police Academy” classes in the future but no dates have been set at this time.
