C ommUnitY n eWS 13th Annual Youth Law Enforcement Academy

HOWELL – Howell PAL’s 13th Annual Youth Law Enforcement Academy is back again this summer.

The Howell Police Department in conjunction with the Howell Township PAL would like to welcome you to participate in our annual Youth Law Enforcement Academy. The camp will be an intense week of training, exposing your child to many different facets of police work. This program will introduce your child to the skills and techniques a police officer acquires while going through a certified police academy.

During the academy the trainees will experience blocks of instruction on police procedures to include crime scene investigation, arrest procedures, handcuffi ng, accident investigation, vehicle pursuit, fi re rescue, and self-defense. The academy will also incorporate the character education and disciplinary techniques used at a police academy which include coping with the negative comments from instructors as examples of dealing with negative comments from public.

Note your child and parent/guardian will be required to attend a mandatory information session before being accepted into the program. Session will be July 12 at 6:30 p.m. at Southard School (115 Kent Road).

This camp is nonrefundable. If an individual drops out of the camp there will be no refund because of the spot they held in the camp.

All will be given one class kit that includes one t-shirt, bag, and hat. If any additional shirts are wanted, you will be able to purchase more at the time of registration.
