Summer Youth Police Academy

The NYPD Summer Youth Police Academy takes place from July 1 - August 9, 2019 and gives young individuals between the ages of 10 - 15 the opportunity to train with police officers during the summer, leading to positive relationships between the Police Department and the city's youth. Participants attend the Youth Police Academy in the borough of their residence, five days a week for six weeks, from 8:30 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Police Officers conduct classes that include lectures, role-plays, and demonstrations in the areas of law, behavioral science, drug prevention and gang resistance.
