The Kerrville Police Department will be hosting their second
Junior Citizen Police Academy for children 11-14 years of age. The Academy will
be held at the Doyle School Community Center (110 West Barnett St) starting
June 13th through June 24, 2011. Classes will be held daily from 8:30 am to
12:30 pm.
A range of topics will be covered including Basic Introduction to Criminal
Law, Mock Traffic Stops, Evidence Collection, Fingerprinting, Building Searches,
and Special Operations Unit. Class time will be divided between instruction and
actual "hands on" participation.
This FREE academy is a great experience which motivates young adults to
be outstanding citizens through law enforcement education and gives a behindthe-
scenes look at a working police department. Applicants must live within Kerr
County entering into the 6th, 7th or 8th grade in September 2011 either attending a
school within Kerr County, Kerrville ISD or participating in a home-school program.
Application packets will be available at the front lobby reception desk at the
Kerrville Police Department.
Applicants will be accepted on a first come first served basis. No
applications packets will be accepted after 5:00 pm on May 31st and class size
will be limited to 24 cadets. Any questions regarding the Academy may be
directed to Officer Paul Gonzales or Sgt. Mary Krebs (830) 257-8181.
