Cleveland’s Youth Police Academy is a comprehensive showcase of various tasks and jobs that a police officer can do. Participants will experience and be exposed to scenarios that may include, but not limited to: simulated firearms training, simulated explosions, canine interaction, drug awareness, simulated crime scene with a victim, jail and prisoners. While every interaction with police activities is done in the safest and most controlled way possible, some participants may be emotionally affected by activities. Please discuss all possible tasks a police officer may encounter and make sure your child is comfortable discussing and participating in "real-life" scenarios.
