The Monroe Police Department is setting its sights on future employees with the launch of its”™ Youth Police Academy for children ages 7-11.
The academy will be held from Aug. 22-26 and will be open to Monroe children, although non-residents will be considered if class size can accommodate them. Children participating in the program will be introduced to the role of a police officer, with activities ranging from K-9 demonstrations, a helicopter demonstration and a mock crime scene investigation.
The academy is free but requires pre-registration, and classes will run from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
