Senior citizen's police academy  

The Senior Citizens Police Academy was designed to give seniors an opportunity to learn hands-on about crime prevention and safety in their homes and communities. Cadets will learn in a workshop style environment rather than presentation based lectures.

Goals:

• To provide learning skills for safety in a fun environment.
• Encourage more learning
• Seniors take their new skills back to their community groups
• Learn from the seniors what their needs are and that of the  senior community

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here, the seniors demonstrate their new found self-defense skills.
