Community Safety Volunteer Academy
Community Safety Volunteers (CSVs) are required to attend a nine-week academy. Classes meet on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6 – 10 p.m. at the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office in either Castle Rock or at the Highlands Ranch Substation and on four additional 8-hour Saturdays.
Each academy trainee will also complete online courses in addition to the classroom. Upon graduation, CSVs will also be required to complete requisite field training programs and volunteer at least 16 hours each month.
CSVs will learn how the Sheriff’s Office functions and participate in classes on ethics, first aid, CPR, defensive driving, traffic control, and more.
The CSV Academy generally begins in March of each calendar year. If you’d like to know more and register for the next academy, please email csv@dcsheriff.net.
