The Teen Police Academy will simulate actual law enforcement training. The teen will learn different laws and rules that apply to various situations that Hancock County law enforcement officer may deal with on a regular basis. The teen will be put through some classroom instruction followed by actual role-plays that will give the teen an opportunity to experience situations that police officers face every day. It is our hope that the teen will better understand law enforcement while learning good decision making and leadership skills.
The academy will last one week from June 9th-13th, 2025, and will be held at Greenfield Central High School. The schedule will consist of daily physical training, classroom instruction and scenario training. Each day will end with a physical/social activity with the officers and teens. Students will receive a Teen Police Academy T-shirt on the First day and will be required to wear this every day. We also require that the teens wear comfortable black athletic shoes and athletic shorts every day. The academy will start promptly at 8:00 AM and end at 4:00 PM, Monday-Friday. Lunch will be provided each day. A graduation ceremony for the class will take place in the Greenfield High School gym on Friday beginning at 4 PM. Please plan ahead.
Teens should be between the ages of 14-17 and in good physical health. For further information about the Teen Police Academy, please call Amy West at 317-477-1178 extension 3595. [email protected].
