GRAFTON POLICE YOUTH ACADEMY (2022)

GRAFTON POLICE YOUTH ACADEMY (2022)

July 18th to July 22nd from 8:00am - 3:00pm
The Grafton Police Department seeks to provide innovative and effective programs for the youth in our community. The Youth Police Academy is such a program! It is designed to establish a positive relationship between the Grafton Police and the youth in our community. There is no cost to attend the academy and size is limited to 24 participants. All cadets need transportation to the Grafton Police Department each morning (no earlier than 7:45am) for an 8:00am start. Cadets are to be picked up each afternoon from the Grafton Police Department promptly at 3:00pm unless otherwise specified.

Goals of the Grafton Youth Police Academy:
- Enhance responsible citizenship.
- Provide positive interaction with police officers and educate young people about the challenged and responsibilities of police work.
- Provide team building activities to instill positive qualities in the student cadets.
Eligibility to attend:
- Be entering 7th or 8th grade
- Be a non-smoker
- Be a resident of Grafton
- First time applications will be given preference over students who have previously attended.
Classes will be held at the Grafton Police Department. Cadets will attend morning classroom sessions with lectures, role-plays, and interactive demonstrations by police officers of the Grafton Police Department in the areas of Motor Vehicle Law, CPR and First Aid (to include Life Flight), Defensive Tactics, Applied Patrol Procedures, Drill and Ceremony, Drug Recognition and Gun Safety – just to name a few. Cadets will participate in PT (Physical Training) each day.
Program will run from 8:00am to 3:00pm at the Grafton Police Department. Parents, this is a one-week commitment and attendance is mandatory. This is due to the number of applicants wanting to attend.

Water will be provided by the Grafton Police Department but Cadets must bring their own lunch.
