On Monday April 20th, 2026 the Harrison County Citizen Sheriff’s Academy held its 3rd annual graduation ceremony. This year we had 15 that completed the academy. Graduate’s and guests were welcomed by DSR and coordinator for the Harrison County Citizens Sheriff’s Academy, Mike Lambiotte. The keynote speaker was Megan Currey who is a Liaison Specialist with the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division. This is a wonderful program that helps to have a deeper understanding of the Sheriff’s Office’s role in Harrison County. Coordinator Lambiotte is already getting ready for the next Academy and we hope to have an even bigger graduating class.
