Maintaining Academic Excellence Club
Youth Police Academy
This is a great opportunity for students who may be interested in law enforcement! And it can count as a club on the Event Page!!! Please see Officer Parker for an application. Applications need to be turned in as soon as possible as acceptance is on a first-come-first-serve basis.
The Youth Police Academy is one of a very few programs of its kind in the United States. Our Hope is that of those students attending the program, a stronger rapport with the Police Department will be established, as well as, a greater understanding of mutual challenges that face today’s youth and police.
Since its inception in the fall of 1992 the Academy has held 47 sessions and graduated over 1550 students. Each week a different activity will take place from Role Play and handcuffing to learning to lifting fingerprints. Students will have an opportunity to ride on patrol with a police officer.
There is no cost to participate in the Youth Police Academy. September 21, 2016 marks the beginning of a new Academy session.
