It will provide students with a detailed look at the roles and responsibilities of a police officer. Daily sessions will take place from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.

During the academy, students will learn about various aspects of police work. They will understand the process of becoming a police officer, the role of police detectives, and the details of forensic crime scene investigation. The program also offers hands-on experience with police tools like drones, tasers, and speed measuring devices.

Additionally, the curriculum includes practical field training and an introduction to case law, which are crucial for police work. Students will also learn about the juvenile court system through a mock trial, giving them insight into legal processes.
