The 2008 Amherst Police Young Adult Adventure Academy will be held Monday, July 14th to Friday, July 18th, 2008 from 8:00 am to 3:30 pm. Hampshire County residents entering 8th, 9th, or 10th grade are eligible to attend the one-week academy. There is no fee to attend, but the academy size is limited to 20 young adults and preference will be given to Town of Amherst residents. Similar to a Citizens' Police Academy, students will attend morning classroom sessions held at the Police Department with lectures, role-plays, and interactive demonstrations given by police officers in the areas of law, crime scene investigation, defensive tactics, patrol procedures, and school safety to name just a few. Most afternoon sessions will be held at our Adventure Based Ropes Course at the Norwottuck Range where we will promote teamwork, communication, and strategy building.
More information about the Amherst Police Young Adult Adventure Academy is available on our website at http://www.amherstpd.org/. Applications can be obtained in the Amherst Police Department lobby or downloaded off of our website. The application deadline is June 25th, 2008, so please don’t delay!
