Youth Law Enforcement Boot Camp

The Howell Twp. Police Department in conjunction with the Howell Twp. PAL would like to welcome you to participate in our annual Youth Law Enforcement Academy. The camp will be an intense week of training, exposing your child to many different facets of police work. This program will introduce your child to the skills and techniques a police officer acquires while going through a certified police academy.

During the academy the trainees will experience blocks of instruction on police procedures to include- crime scene investigation, arrest procedures, handcuffing, accident investigation, vehicle pursuit, fire rescue, self defense. The academy will also incorporate the character education and disciplinary techniques used at a police academy which include coping with the negative comments from instructors as examples of dealing with negative comments from public. 

*Please note your child will be required to attend a mandatory information session before being accepted into the program. Session will be July 10 at 6pm at Southard School (115 Kent Rd.)  After the information session, you then will be notified of acceptance with more information on the academy.*

Once accepted into the academy your credit card on file will be charged a $25 deposit that will be held until your son/daughter graduates from the academy on August 6th. There is a mandatory parent meeting the evening of July 25th leading up to the academy (time TBD). All accepted will be given one t-shirt, bag, and hat. If any additional shirts are wanted- you will be able to log into the system to purchase additional shirts (only do this once you are notified about being accepted into the program.)
