Just call me Deputy Nibby . . .
One of the most exciting programs I participated in 2004 was Henderson KY Police Department’s- Citizens Police academy.
It was a program that gave me up-close and personal information about the workings of the Henderson Police Department. I gained upmost respect for Henderson Police and the job they have to do.
It made me a better citizen and at the same time gave me greater respect for any law enforcement officer. (I have always had respect for them, but this gave me even more!)
As part of the program we visited the courthouse, the county jail, spent hours in the 911 Emergency Center, rode alongside a officer for a entire shift and fired a service revolver.
My favorite part was spending time in the 911 center.
I would highly recommend to program to anyone in Henderson.
The Henderson Police Department has another Citizens Police Academy starting very soon! The summer class is starting Tuesday night, June 2, 2009 from 6pm to 8pm weekly.
If you or know of someone that is interested you need to contact Wendy Sugg at 270.831.1295. If you do not get into this class another class is scheduled for Fall of 2009.
When was your last encounter with a law enforcement Officer?

ps great photo!!!
My mom did this program and LOVED it. She totally shot to kill at the shooting range–her poster had bullet holes all over the middle part of the outline.
I think she hung it on her office door at work as a warning…
Thank you both for your comments! It makes my writing feel worth something when I have a comment! 🙂
