The Glenview Police Department is excited to announce its first Youth Police Academy, a hands-on, interactive experience designed to give young community members an inside look at law enforcement.

This three-day program, held from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on July 29, 30 and 31, is open to youth ages 12-14 and provides a unique opportunity to explore the world of policing through fun, hands-on activities and real-life scenarios.

Participants will receive instruction and experience in:

  • Evidence processing and crime scene techniques
  • Conducting mock traffic stops
  • Patrol functions and procedures
  • A guided tour of the Police Department and 9-1-1 Dispatch Center
  • K9 Unit and drone demonstrations

This academy is a great opportunity to learn from and connect with officers who serve the Glenview community! Space is limited — don’t wait to secure your spot!
