Junior Police Academy

Registration for the 2023 Junior Police Academy is now full. Please check back next year! 

Is your youngster interested in police work? At the Buffalo Grove Junior Police Academy they will learn to take finger and footprint impressions, get to experience traffic stops, explore police equipment and much more! The academy is designed for children who are nine to 13 years of age and either live in, or attend school in Buffalo Grove.

This program covers several aspects of law enforcement and involves hands on training conducted by officers from the police department. Our Junior Police Academy is a one-week long program held in the summer of each year.
