High school students may experience police training
High school students who have completed 10th and 11th grade are being given an opportunity to learn about the training and procedures used by police officers. The Pennsylvania American Legion, in cooperation with the Pennsylvania State Police, is sponsoring a six-day mini camp for high school boys and girls June 15-21 at Scotland School for Veterans Children near Chambersburg.
The camp participants will train in all areas of police work, including physical training, investigative techniques, familiarity with weapons and problem solving techniques. The program is physically and mentally challenging and requires the students to be physically fit, in good academic standing and able to participate in all aspects of the program. It is neither a summer camp nor a disciplinary camp for problem youths.
The training is an opportunity for hands-on experience for teens interested in a career in law enforcement or the military. To register, call the nearest American Legion post or Washington County Commissioner Larry Maggi at 724-228-6722.
