The Academy was created by the CJC to educate Palm Beach County citizens, business and government leaders and other interested parties about the criminal justice system and to introduce them to local criminal justice professionals.

The classes will be held at the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (3228 Gun Club Road, West Palm Beach) with tours at other criminal justice locations in the county. Tours include the Juvenile Assessment Center, Main County Courthouse, Main County Detention Center, Medical Examiner’s Office and a 9-1-1 center.
