The Flower Mound Police Department is hosting two sessions of the Junior Police Academy this summer for students who will enter the eighth grade in the fall of 2010. The sessions will be held from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. June 21 - 25 and August 2 - 6 at the Flower Mound Police Department, 4150 Kirkpatrick Lane. The free academy is designed to motivate young people, enhance leadership skills, and encourage community participation. The JPA transforms the traditional role of the police officer into one of mentor and friend while motivating participants to be outstanding citizens through law enforcement education. The program will provide students with an extensive tour of the Police Department and presentations on drug recognition and enforcement, criminal investigation, K-9, traffic stops. In addition, the SWAT team will conduct a live exercise incorporating the academy students. Space is limited and all students must be pre-registered. Registration begins May 1, during regular business hours at the police department. For more information, please call 972.874.3357.
