Police Youth Academy

The Police Youth Academy is a summertime program for Holly Springs children ages 11-15 and 16-18. It promotes respect for police officers and encourages students to be partners in building safer schools and communities.

Cadets get hands-on experience in a variety of police training, procedures and technology. They take part in fitness training and learn about first aid. The academy operates much like a real academy for police recruits. It is not a "boot camp" for troubled youth. Learn more.
