The Youth Academy has been designed to give young people a better understanding of police operations in their community through active participation, communication, and cooperation. At the same time, it allows police officers conducting the sessions a unique opportunity to interact with youth and hear their perception of how the department is serving their needs.

Sessions

The Summer Youth Academy consists of five sessions. The sessions are held each day from 9:00 am until 12:00 pm at City Hall. Two sessions will be held away from City Hall with transportation provided by the Police Department. Parents must arrange for transportation of their child to and from City Hall each day. The final session ends with a luncheon for class participants. Each attendee who completes the academy will receive a certificate of attendance.

The Youth Academy covers a wide range of topics including:

• 911 Center / Police Communications
• Patrol Procedures
• Traffic and D.U.I. Enforcement
• Traffic Accident Investigation
• Criminal Investigations / Crime Lab
• Witness / Observation Skills
• Safe Driving Skills
• Use of Force Issues
• K-9 Police Dog
