[ARCHIVED] 2013 Fishers Police Department Teen Academy

The 13th annual Fishers Police Department Teen Academy will be held August 5th thru 9th at Riverside Intermediate School, located at 11014 Eller Road in Fishers. The academy is one week of law enforcement type training that will allow teens to better understand how law enforcement works. The academy will also allow teens to get to know several officers. Each day will begin at 9:00am. The teens will start each day with physical exercise. The students will then attend classroom training followed by practical hands on skills to reinforce the lesson of the day. Each day will conclude with a social activity with officers and students. Parents can pick up their teen at 3:30pm.

“The children in our community are very important to us and with the success of Teen Academy, we are excited to work with the kids again this year.” said Chief George Kehl.

The purpose of the academy is to allow teens to better understand police officers and to strengthen the relationship between the police department and the community. Officers will teach blocks of instruction on various topics such as emergency vehicle operations, building searches, drug investigations and domestic violence. Students will have classroom instruction as well as practical “role play” training each day.
