Citizens Police Academy Class

We continue to provide a Citizens Academy to our community. Those who attend who have sessions on Use of Force, Narcotics, Traffic Stops and many more areas. We feel privileged as a department to get to know these wonderful individuals over the 10 week class. We often learn as much from them, as they do from us.


Teen Law Enforcement WorkshopTeen Law Enforcement Workshop

Sgt. Lorenzo developed a three day course which allowed high school students to come learn about what officers do on a daily basis two years ago. Students learn what it takes to be an officer. Including use of force situations, how to process a crime scene and so much more.

Sgt. Lorenzo will be conducting another workshop this year. This is an amazing program for both the kids and officers.

Training

• Training hours on average has tripled for each officer since 2012..

• Much of our training is completed in house to allow more officers to complete training at a lower cost to the city.

• The majority of our training is completed during normal working hours. This eliminates expensive overtime costs.


In 2016 the Sidney Police Department was the first department to be fully certified by the State of Ohio. In 2019 we received our recertification. Less then 10% of the Departments in the State are fully certified.
