INFORMATION & REGISTRATION
Michigan Sheriffs' Association 2017 Marine Training Academy for new marine officers will be held May 1-5, 2017 at the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office.
The registration fee per attendee is $150. This includes all materials, snacks, lunches and dinner on the first 3 nights for those whom choose to partake in the extra class sessions. (This leaves attendees on their own for breakfast and for two dinners.) This does NOT include housing for the week. Once registration is complete (click on the link below), payment for registration fees should be mailed to the Ottawa County Sheriff's Offce - 12220 Fillmore St. - West Olive, MI 49460.
Please note: our registration system requires that each attendee have their own, unique email address. This does not have to be an agency email address, so it can be a personal email. Updates to the agenda and equipment list will be sent to these email addresses.
