| Does anyone have any experience with the Junior Police Academy organization? My Chief wants me to start a junior police academy here. The program looks good, but I want as much info on it as I can get before jumping in. Any advice would be helpful, Thanks SK. |

Are you talking about Police Explorers or a Citizen's Police Academy? They are different animals. I teach a very short block at CPA, and we have an active Explorer program. Drop me an e-mail and I will give you some contacts at my Department that can steer you in the right direction. |

The Junior Police Academy is another animal. It is a program like the CPA except it is for 7th, 8th, and 9th graders. The Sheriff's Dept. has an explorer program and we don't want to get into a competition with them. The Chief wants a youth program and is looking at this one. The JPA is a national program that is located in Austin, Tx. Does anyone have info on it. |
