Ten members from the Police Activity League receive certificates for completing the Junior Police Academy on Wednesday, November 18, 2009, at the Santa Monica Public Safety Building. The Junior Police Academy is an eight week program designed for children ages 9 to 14. Through classroom discussions, student activities and cadet handouts, the students develop a deeper appreciation for law enforcement, while opening the door to better communication between officers and students. The students learn about policing and the inner workings of the Santa Monica Police Department. They learn about S.W.A.T., crime scene Investigations, accident, D.U.I. investigations, use of traffic radar and Beach Patrol.
