The Youth Law Enforcement Leadership Academy is designed for young adults interested in law enforcement, county government, the judiciary system, and emergency services. Unlike other traditional police academies, the Youth Law Enforcement Leadership Academy is an ongoing program for middle and high school students between the ages of 12 and 19. Cadets learn teamwork, sportsmanship, integrity, and self-respect, and are given the opportunity to broaden their understanding of the challenges and skills that make up their community’s police service. Upon achieving various ranks in the Academy, cadets will participate in official promotion ceremonies.
