The Alamo Heights Police Departments Youth Academy is one of the few programs of its kind in the United States.  Our hope is that those students attending the program will develop a stronger rapport with the police department, as well as, a greater understanding of the mutual challenges that face today’s youth and police.

There is no cost for this program; you just have to provide your own transportation.

During the ten (10) week program, students will have many hands-on activities along with some lecture.  Students will also have an opportunity to ride with patrol officers as they perform their duties.
 

Who are eligible?

• Students currently enrolled in 9^th through 12^th grade within any public or private school in Alamo Heights.
• Successfully complete an informal background investigation.
• Maintain a passing grade in all classes that complies with the No Pass/No Play rule.
