This half-day “summer camp” style program, taught by Police Explorers, Community Service Officers, and Police Officers, will introduce children to police work, through presentations and hands-on activities.  During the program, children will:

• Get a tour of the Sturgeon Bay Police Department building and a police squad car.
• Listen to SWAT, SOT, and Marine Patrol officers discuss their jobs and see these officers’ equipment.
• Learn about traffic enforcement, conduct mock traffic stops with actual police cars, and use police radar to measure actual traffic speeds.
• Learn about traffic control and practice performing traffic control of cars under controlled conditions (in a blocked-off parking lot, cars driven by PD instructors).
• Learn about crime scene investigations and investigate mock crime scenes. 
• Participate in staged shoot/don’t shoot scenarios. 

A daily snack will be provided throughout the week of the program.  Each child will be provided with a T-Shirt to wear during the academy, and to keep after the academy is finished.  The cost of the program will be $10 per child, to cover the cost of the t-shirt and snacks.

Applications for the Summer Police Academy can be picked up at the Sturgeon Bay Police Department, Sturgeon Bay Parks Department, or the Algoma Police Department.
