Are you interested in a career in law enforcement? Do you want to experience what it’s like to be a police officer? If you are a high school student, join the Kentwood Police Department for four days of hands-on instruction, where students will learn what it’s like to train to be an officer and experience the different roles and functions that police officers perform. Graduating seniors, as well as students who will be entering their sophomore, junior, or senior year are eligible.
Students will receive training in various aspects of policing, and practice those skills as they participate in scenarios. Example topics include:
- Traffic Stops
- Drunk Driving Enforcement
- Building Searches
- Subject Control
- Handcuffing
