Sign-Ups Underway For Petaluma's 'Junior Officer Police Camp'

From the Petaluma Police Department:

The Petaluma Police Department is hosting its 5th Junior Officer Police Camp on March 23 through March 26, during Spring Break.

The camp is from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM at Lucchesi Center. This FREE four-day camp is an opportunity for the youth of Petaluma to learn more about the jobs accomplished by both the civilian and sworn personnel of the Petaluma Police Department.

Instructors from the Police Department will demonstrate many of the tools used and explain how each job is accomplished while demonstrating and communicating with the kids important life skills such as leadership, teamwork, and a winning attitude.

The Junior Officer Police Camp is for children grades 3rd thru 6th who are willing to be a leader, with a winning attitude, a willingness to be a team player, and an interest to learn more about the Petaluma Police Department.

Anyone interested can find an application on the Petaluma Police Department website or contact Heidi Borges at hborges@ci.petaluma.ca.us or (707)781-1212.
