CITY OVERVIEW
Positive and Proactive The Strongsville Police Youth Academy (SPYA) is
an interactive program between our community youth and the police, designed to facilitate a mutual understanding between the police officer and the student. We believe the experience allows students and police officers to meet and interact in a positive, proactive setting.
Purpose of the Academy:
Is to facilitate a better understanding, through education and dialogue, between students and our officers. This experience will serve to dispel suspicions and misconceptions students may have about the police in general. The academy will create a growing nucleus of responsible, well-informed students regarding police services. By providing students with insight into the Strongsville
Police Department (SPD), we sincerely hope to promote a partnership and an interest in pursuing a career path toward law enforcement with the Strongsville Police Department.
Who Can Attend the Strongsville Police Youth Academy? The SPYA is open to all qualifying Strongsville High School students in their senior year. Each student must successfully pass an application process to attend.
What is the Curriculum Like?
It’s a 30-hour course, one day a week for three hours over 10 weeks. Lessons utilize interactive teaching methods that provide similar information found in a traditional basic police academy without the physical rigors associated with an accredited academy. The curriculum consists of both classroom and real-world scenario applications. Topics include:
