EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ — This summer activity has been in high demand for a long time. The East Brunswick Police Department is currently accepting applications for the 16th Annual Youth Police Academy. This year’s academy is open to students from East Brunswick ages 13 to 17.

Each cadet will have opportunities to enjoy team-building activities and learn a great deal about respect and tolerance while having fun. The program also includes a field trip to a local law enforcement site, such as the New Jersey State Police Museum or equivalent.

Residents interested in enrolling their children in this program, can complete the online registration via the East Brunswick Department of Recreation link and email the completed Applicant Packet to the Community Policing Unit (CommunityPolicing@ebpd.net ). The registration deadline is May 5.
