Fishers Police Department Announces 2011 Teen Academy

The Fishers Police Department is teaming up with the Fishers YMCA Teen Center to reach out to the teens of Fishers. The 11th annual Fishers Police Department Teen Academy will be held at the YMCA Teen Center July 18th through July 22nd 2011. The academy is one week of law enforcement type training that will allow teens ages 13-17 to better understand how law enforcement works.

The academy will also allow teens to get to know several officers. Each day will begin 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.

“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.

For more information or to enroll in the Teen Academy, contact Officer Kevin Sutton at the Fishers Police Department at 317-596-7421.
