Woodbridge Junior Police Academy
leaves lasting impression
Once again, the Woodbridge Junior Police Academy was the
highlight of the summer for many kids. Woodbridge Local 38
recently completed its 10th summer camp, designed to give
children the chance to see what it’s like to be a law enforcement
officer.
Members of Local 38 ran two weeklong boot camp sessions
devoted to teaching young participants discipline and hard
work. The program provided instruction on multiple elements
of police work, including motor vehicle stops, crime scene in-
vestigation and first aid. The campers also experienced a SWAT
team demonstration.
Local 38 members worked hard to make the Junior Police
Academy a valuable experience for young people that will shape
positive views of law enforcement and build character. By the
end of the week, the kids didn’t want the academy to end. d
