The LaGrange Police Department developed a police academy which is directed at youth 12 – 16 years of age that runs every summer for one week. Each year this fun filled event consists of various activities for children and the opportunity to build relationships with other children as well as law enforcement personnel. The goal of the academy is to encourage our youth to make positive choices, while educating them about possible dangers in our society. Officers discuss topics that include internet safety, drug awareness, gangs, decision making skills, positive friendship foundations, general law enforcement duties and laws as they apply to our youth.

The LaGrange Police welcomes the opportunity to work with your child in this exciting and unique event.

Information for the youth police academy can be obtained by calling Officer Penny Hester with the LaGrange Police Department at 706 883-2632.
