Demonstrating they work well together both on the streets and in the woods, Amherst and UMass Police Departments are teaming up once again to jointly sponsor a Police Youth Adventure Academy this summer.
The versatile program provides 20 children the golden opportunity to learn police procedures in the morning and then spend afternoons negotiating a ropes course.
And best of all, the entire one week program is free! So hurry up parents, enrollments are limited.

I've heard a lot of good things about this one week camp!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds really cool and a great community builder too.
ReplyDeleteMay I offer a suggestion -- a genuine suggestion to the APD & UMPD?
ReplyDeleteDo something similar for the various UM Freshman Orientation sessions this summer. Let the incoming student's first impression of your officers be the nice guys (and gal) in T-shirts who did something nice for them.
You get 2-3 UM students saying "hey, I know that officer, don't you dare throw that bottle at him" and it won't get thrown.
