The Academy is conducted in conjunction with the Douglas County Sheriff's Department, Roseburg, Winston, Sutherlin, Oakland and Myrtle Creek Police Departments. This Academy trains Reserve Officers and Deputies for law enforcement agencies throughout Southwest Oregon. Many full-time officers and deputies are hired from the Reserve ranks.

This rigorous course of study starts in mid- September and concludes in May of the following year. Classes are taught on Saturdays 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. This is a 320- hour program designed to train police reserve officers to enter a career in law enforcement.
