The
Taylor Police Department will be hosting two sessions of its new Youth Police
Academy this summer.
The
first session is from August 10-14 and the second session is from August 17-21.
Both sessions will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. each day. The program is FREE of
charge and open to Taylor residents entering the 9th, 10th, 11th or 12th grades
in September 2015.
The
program is for high school students with an interest in law enforcement. The
20-hour program is designed to give students a taste of what being a police
officer is all about. Students will receive hands-on instruction from officers
representing many of the different units within TPD. Members of the Taylor Fire
Department and the 23rd District Court will also be participating.
There
is no cost to the students. T-shirts and lunches will be provided.
The
youth academy will allow students to practice skills in a positive environment;
and provide an opportunity for students to be recruited as interns or future
Police Explorers.
DEADLINE
FOR REGISTRATION IS JULY 26.
Spots are still available.
