I attended the Citizens Academy last year.  It is open to anyone regardless of where they live.  We had several participants from Powhatan, Henrico and Hanover in addition to Goochland residents.  It was a great learning experience.  Very well done…nothing is off limits you can ask about anything and they tell you how the process works or why police,fire/rescue respond the way they do in various situations.  I recommend attending the class.

Just a question….Is this open to Goochland residents only, or can surrounding counties also participate?  It sounds very interesting!
