The Fairfield Police Department is accepting applications for its very first Police Youth Academy.

This is a free program for Fairfield-Suisun and Travis Unified School Districts youths, 11 to 16, who have an interest in learning more about law enforcement. The program provides students with a greater understanding of the inner workings of a police department and police procedures, taught by law enforcement.

It also offers youths an opportunity to spend a week gaining insight into the jobs offered through the Fairfield PD, and to engage with their peers while honing their team-building and communication skills, and through critical thinking exercises.
