What is the San Ramon Youth Police Academy?

The San Ramon Police Department’s Youth Academy provides youth with an inside look at local law enforcement.  The Academy, which meets daily for two weeks, is designed to inspire good citizenship through criminal justice education.  This is a great opportunity for youth who are interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement.

What is the curriculum?

During the Academy, students will be introduced to the services that law enforcement provides to our community.  Some of the training topics include: Laws in schools, search and seizure, drug and alcohol recognition, crime scene investigation, K-9 demonstration, pistol range and firearms safety, traffic stops, DUI enforcement, officer use of force, officer safety, community policing, and defensive tactics. The Youth Police Academy will take fieldtrips to Juvenile Hall and to the Use of Force Simulator. All classes are taught by police officers and department personnel in their own area of expertise.

When is the Youth Academy?

Academy Class begins Monday, June 16th through June 26th, 2008.

Is there a fee?
