Youth participants will have the opportunity to explore topics such as SWAT, investigations and detectives, evidence collection, traffic stops, dispatch operations, and other important areas of police work.

The program also provides a valuable opportunity for the Police Department to build positive relationships with local youth. Through hands-on learning, open conversations, and direct interaction with officers, participants can gain a better understanding of public safety, decision-making, teamwork, and the role law enforcement plays in the community.
