Schertz PD to Host Jr. Police Academy & New Teen Police Academy

DO YOU HAVE A CHILD BETWEEN THE AGES OF 9 – 12? ARE THEY INTERESTED IN LAW ENFORCEMENT OR WANT TO MEET A POLICE OFFICER?

If so, the Schertz Police Department Junior Police Academies will be June 12-16 (9 & 10-year-olds) and July 2428 (11 & 12-year-olds). Kids will learn about the tools on an Officer’s belt, K-9 demonstrations, fingerprinting, and other police-related topics. The class has limited seating, and Schertz residents will have priority. Applications can be picked up from the police department lobby during regular business hours or downloaded from Schertz.com. The application deadline for the June class is May 25, and the July class is June 30.
