The nine-week course will take place Thursday evenings from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Center.

Participants will gain insights into police procedures, interact with officers, and better understand the complexities of law enforcement.

To qualify, applicants must be 18 or older, live or work in SeaTac or Burien, have no felony convictions, and pass a criminal history background check.

Attendees must also commit to all nine sessions.

Applications are due by Mar. 7, 2025, and can be completed online at www.seatacwa.gov. Questions can be directed to SeaTac CSO Contreras at dencontreras@kingcounty.gov.
