This year is the 19th Annual Junior Police Academy. This program has established a strong foundation over the years as a long term support for police and community relationship building.

This is a 3 day program and will be held at Ramapo Ridge Middle School. The approximate hours will be 8:30am – 4:00pm.

For 2022, as we reintroduce the JPA, it has been modified a bit.
It’s been opened to students entering 6th OR 7th grade in September and is COMPLIMENTARY WITH NO FEE!

Objectives

Started in 2001, the objective of the Junior Academy is to promote an environment where the students learn the basic principles of respect, discipline, team work, motivation, and dedication to a “greater cause” through a rigorous program of physical training and military style experiences. Each student will gain a comprehensive understanding of the laws that govern our country, and the legal processes that protects our citizens.

The essential focus is to build confidence and the students ability to deal positively with tough, social situations. Additionally, the program works to present law enforcement in a positive role.
