The Kentucky State Police and Governor Andy Beshear have established a new recruitment program for the next generation of law enforcement.
The Youth Academy Program is designed to educate, inspire and empower young Kentuckians who are interested in serving, while also improving recruitment and retention in Kentucky law enforcement, according to a Kentucky State Police press release.
Participants will be able to interact with officers while they develop leadership skills and an understanding of law enforcement principles and physical fitness requirements.
The program will be held at Trooper Island Camp, which is funding the project, on Dale Hallow Lake.
The first Youth Academy Program is scheduled for July 22 through 26, 2024. The deadline to apply is June 10.
Kentucky residents who are 16-17 years old are eligible to participate.
More information about the program, eligibility and applying can be found here.
