West Fargo Police Department Youth Academy is a program designed to increase the understanding between students and the police through hands on training.
In addition to specialized classroom training, students are exposed to patrol duties with Police Department Officers. Students will participate in a wide range of training from classroom to actual scenario training.
Youth Academy participants are not actually trained for police work. Participants will have a better understanding of the West Fargo Police Department operations and the day to day responsibilities and duties that officers are tasked with on a regular basis.
Through your participation in the Youth Academy program, you will have greater understanding of the West Fargo Police Department and you will be promoting community awareness which in itself is the most powerful force any law enforcement agency has in the fight against crime.
