The Queen Creek Police Department is now accepting applications for the summer Youth Academy. This free, two-week program introduces teens to the exciting and challenging world of law enforcement. The Youth Academy offers students an inside look at patrol operations, investigations, K9, specialty units, and more.

“Our Youth Academy is about building connections,” stated Chief Randy Brice. “Community policing starts with relationships, and we are committed to engaging with our youth in meaningful ways to foster trust, mentorship, and opportunity. By connecting with our youth, we are investing in a stronger and safer community.”

The program is open to Queen Creek teens aged 14 - 18. Sessions will take place Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on June 22 - 25 and June 29 - July 2.
