2025 Citizen Youth Academy starting this month

The County of Brant OPP will be hosting its 2nd YouthAcademy this month. This academy is presented to youth interested in a career in policing and highlights various positions and jobs within the OPP. Beginning in October, applications were available at the Brant OPP Detachment, as well as online for interested in participants in Grades 10-12. Selected individuals were contacted in December. The program will run every Wednesday for seven weeks from 7 pm to 9 pm and will showcase various specialty services, a day in the life of a general officer, as well as the necessary background needed to apply to the OPP. In January 2024, twenty youth were given this opportunity, and the feedback received was very positive
