Every student will receive a t-shirt, signed certificate, a CD of the week's events and will participate in the academy graduation. Snacks will also be provided each day. Instructed by Officer Jay Hackett and fellow officers of the IPD.
We ask that if your child has attended this class in previous years that they do not enroll again, in order to provide this opportunity for as many as possible.
A signed Website and Social Media Release Form is required and can be downloaded here. Please bring the completed form with your child on the first day of the academy.
The Training Room can be reached via the south entrance of City Hall, taking the stairs to the basement. The room is at the bottom of the stairs.
