Dear: Cadet Participants,
The 2010 Lanett Police & Recreation Youth Police Academy
is a one-week program that will be held at the L.B. Sykes Jr. High and Community Center located on Cherry Dr. Lanett, AL.
The program is designed to help young people explore career and leadership opportunities, life skills and character education.
Participants will experience strict discipline, drills, ceremonies and physical activities. There will be field trips to the
Chambers County Jail, Juvenile Court, Lee County Juvenile Detention Center and Wild Animal Safari. Participants will be taught
firearm safety, drug awareness, and how to deal with issues that they may encounter as a growing youth. Participants will
receive hands on experience in administering first aid, processing crime scenes, experiencing mock domestic disputes, how
to avoid strangers, person(s) under the influence of alcohol, drugs and much more. After the completion of the academy there
will be a graduation ceremony where participants will receive awards and certificates, and a cook-out inviting the immediate
family. Non participant family members will have to purchase a meal ticket at 5 dollars per person. Each participant
must arrive on time every day wearing a gray academy shirt, khaki pants or shorts, and tennis shoes. The Youth
Academy will have academy shirts available for purchase at $13.00. For more information contact Ronnie Tucker @ 706-585-7019
