Student Police Academy
Presented by members of the
Longmont Police Department, this
14 week course has been
formulated and designed to better
acquaint the youth of our
community with the operation of the
local criminal justice system. It is
in a classroom setting and is
chosen as part of the student's high
school curriculum.
This program was adapted from the existing Citizen Police Academy, which
consists of condensed topics taken from basic police training. These topics
have been tailored to fit the needs of high school level students. Some of the
topics covered are: an introduction to the police department and tour, K-9
Demonstration, Crime Stoppers, Internal Affairs, Field Operations, Vice and
Narcotics, Gang and Youth Violence, Investigative Process, Crime Scene
Processing, CPR, the Cadet Program, and career opportunities.
All participants are also required to complete a Ride-Along Program with a
police officer on patrol for a 6 hour segment.
The Student Police Academy is currently held at both Skyline High School and
Longmont High School.
