Training for Civilians

Some of the courses at the Ben Clark Training Center are open to civilian, non-sworn members of the public. 

These courses are taught by professional law enforcement personnel and can assist the public in completing required or recommended training for weapons handling, or to familiarize citizens with self-defense tactics or law enforcement operations.

The Citizen's Academy is a basic training course for Citizens on Patrol and Mounted Posse members designed to provide basic skills and knowledge. This course satisfies Mounted Posse manual requirement 302.08.
