CALIFORNIA - The thirty or so local men and women who signed up for the 2008 Citizens Academy classes offered by the sheriff’s department settled in for a long evening Sept. 10 to begin the seven-week course that will give them an insider’s view of Bill Brown’s empire. Brown, of course, is the sheriff of Santa Barbara County. And he is all too aware of how little understood is the job that he and his deputies perform daily. The first meeting of the citizen’s academy was held at the Solvang Veteran’s Memorial Hall and the academy will run for six more sessions, one per week. Citizens will be introduced to the mission of the department, will have the opportunity to interact with deputies and detectives, will tour department facilities including the jail and dispatch center, will have the opportunity to fire real and simulated firearms, and test driving skills in simulated emergency situations.
