We are the Junior Police Academy.
For three decades we’ve teamed up with police officers who go that extra mile for the young people in their community.
The Junior Police Academy provides the resources police officers need to build a bond of trust and friendship with young people.
Our programming includes:
A course for police officers to master teaching skills
Courses and handouts for classroom instruction
Interactive digital units to bring the world of law enforcement to life
Video channel featuring police officers explaining how they made Junior Police Academy work in their community
and much more
“Junior Police Academy bridges the tremendous gap between today's youth and law enforcement officers.” stated Chief Thomas Clemons (Seward, Alaska). “I know from experience, JPA has lasting impact on a youngster’s attitude toward public safety and their role as a citizen.”
Working together, we can build a safer community where youth feel seen, heard, and valued. Through mentorship and positive engagement, the Junior Police Academy instills respect for law enforcement and fosters a sense of partnership among future leaders.
The many faces of JPA!
