The inaugural Youth Police Academy will be a practical educational program. It aims to expose young community members aged between 12 and 16 to law enforcement careers and fostering their leadership abilities. The program is being launched with much excitement by the Farmington Hills Police Department. Flyer printing can be used to promote such a program.
John Piggott, the Police Chief for Farmington Hills, commented:
“This academy is a fun and meaningful way for us to connect with young people in the community while giving them an inside look at what it is like to work in law enforcement. We hope to empower and educate the community’s future leaders, foster positive relationships and spark interest in a public service career.”
Through a combination of demonstrations and interactive workshops, participants will learn about the abilities and commitment required for a career in law enforcement. In addition to practicing traffic stops and learning how to gather evidence, such as shoeprints and fingerprints, students will get the opportunity to participate in self-defense instruction designed specifically for preteens and teenagers.
Drone operators and K9 cops will participate in demonstrations. Students can also expect to hear from a range of law enforcement professionals who will impart professional knowledge and useful life skills, such as advice on how to save money, and safe bicycling and walking techniques.
