TEEN POLICE ACADEMY
Friday, May 21st, 2010While doing research on a case, I came across an interesting program for teens in Florida. The Boynton Beach Police department hosts a Teen Police Academy during the summer months. According to their website, the goal and objective is, “To encourage young people to become productive young adults by promoting the development of important core values thereby deterring juvenile delinquency.”
This entails an exciting week chocked full of fun, interactive, educational activities to include gang and drug awareness, crime scene, traffic stops, building searches, SWAT and K-9 units, life saving techniques, firearm safety, field trips, and much more. Some of the requirements are that teens have to be between the ages of 14 – 16, must be enrolled in high school, must live in the City of Boynton Beach and Western Communities, and parents have to sign the waiver.
The program is one week in length, and costs $75.00. Your registration must be complete by June 15, 2010 and the academy will be in full swing starting August 9, 2010.
