“Young people do not

understand what police

officers do and why they do it.
They don’t understand the
role of law enforcement in a
community,” observes Officer
Mitchell Garcia of the Houston
Police Academy and JPA
Advisory Council member.
“But when we take the
mystery out of law
enforcement procedures and
policies -- young people’s
attitudes toward police and
their role in society is
transformed”
Junior Police Academy motivates young people to be
outstanding citizens through law enforcement education. An
outgrowth of community policing, JPA transforms the traditional
role of the police officer into one of mentor and friend, while
encouraging our young citizens to be partners, not adversaries,
in building safer schools and communities.
Director, Kelly LeConte

Since 1992, the Junior Police Academy has been bringing the
world of law enforcement into the nation's classrooms --
coordinating and directing the efforts of police departments
and educators in this relatively new field of study. JPA Mission Statement

Targeting middle school and high school students, the program Encouraging young citizens to
is a police academy for young people. While our graduates are be partners, not adversaries, in
not police officers, they are the community leaders of tomorrow building safer schools and
-- instilled with an appreciation and respect for law enforcers communities through law
and their role in society. enforcement education.

Additionally, the JPA Program transforms police officers from

merely responding to crime to being a powerful, pro-active
force in creating a safe, crime-free learning environment.

The materials in this publication and on our website

www.JuniorPoliceAcademy.org, provide a detailed summary of
the program; however if you have any questions, do not hesitate
to call or e-mail. We welcome the opportunity to answer any of
your questions about the program.

Good luck in your efforts!

 “Together they talk, they laugh and they get a chance to
learn from one another. JPA allows officers and students
to see each other as people rather than enemies.
“I see officers in the stands at football games and students
jumping out of the seats to say “Hi!” That type of
understanding goes a long way towards ensuring a safer
school and community. The students may not see it, but I
do and so does the schools administration -- the Junior
Police Academy works.”

Chief Patrick Fuller,

Austin Independent School
District Police Department,
Texas

“Morals and integrity are not always taught at home
anymore and JPA is making a difference. The goodness
rubs off on others. JPA Cadets are setting an example for
other students to follow. There is a sense of respect for the
school staff that the cadets gain from the program. JPA is
helping to create positive school leaders…leadership by
example.”

“I am very proud to say that the juvenile crime rate in my community after
implementing the JPA Program was reduced by 22% and not one of the 9th
grade students that went through the JPA program have been in trouble
with the police, not one.
“The JPA Program bridges the tremendous gap between today's youth and
law enforcement officers. One of my cadets that I would have least
expected it from had this remark to make after spending the day with the
recruits: ‘I have never seen human beings with that much discipline and
pride in my entire life’. I couldn’t believe he told me that. JPA is the
reason.”
Chief Thomas Clemons
Seward Police Department, Alaska
“I have many graduates who are now police officers. I have had several
students who went through the program and have come back and said if it
wasn't for your program I would not have gotten through the police
academy. They are our advertisement because they tell all the police
explorers and all the kids in the community about the JPA Program and how
good it is.”
Officer Suzanne D’Ambrose
Law Enforcement Instructor
Monmouth County Voc-Tech School, New Jersey
“Our job as police officers is to show the students that there is a better way
and we provide the resource to do that. We try to teach kids what law
enforcement is as a whole, all branches. We want them to achieve their
goals and through the JPA we can do that.”
Officer John Clapp
White Settlement Police Department, Texas
“I love kids. JPA gives me a chance to interact with students and give them
a sense of what police work is all about, but it also reinforces on my part
why I became a policeman……… The kids that have graduated from the
JPA have a deep devoted sense of responsibility. They are community
oriented. They are children who as they become adults want to make a
difference.”
Officer Mitchell Garcia
Houston Police Academy, Texas:
“I think that JPA is an excellent program, an outreach to our youth and their
parents. If we can instill certain values in kids, meet and tell the parents
what we are doing, they can also work with their kids. That will make for an
overall better community which is what this is really all about.”
Officer Joe Silva
Stockton Police Department, California
“For a first-time program, it was greatly received by everybody. It is
something that we are going to continue and to cultivate smaller, more
intense classes. JPA helps to break down a barrier and gives kids a look at
careers in law enforcement. It gives them another avenue.”
Officer Sean Daley
Mont Pleasant Middle School
Schenectady, New York
“Field trips are a big part of our JPA Program. Let them visit and hear from
the FBI, the DEA and at the same time let the agents show them what they
do because kids love hands on. I have been impressed with the agencies
being impressed with the JPA. They think it is a great program for the kids
when they see them in uniform. They see the respect shown to them. The
agencies are willing to do anything for the kids because they are looking
for good citizens.”
Captain Tom Long
Herkimer Police Department, New York

"The kids take home an incredible memory that will always be associated
with the field of law enforcement. We get a chance to really build
relationships with these kids in a non-confrontational setting. It is also an
opportunity to be in the role of a teacher and advisor.”
Officers James Adams
Hanford Police Department, California

“I’m absolutely excited about it JPA. Some students are taking the class as
just an extra class, but once they realize what is involved it changes them
from just another kid on campus to somebody that has some insight about
what is going on in the world. Not just their smaller world, but the world of
the community they live in.

“The friendships that are created during JPA are phenomenal. It is very
common to be walking on campus and have high school students just
come up to you and start talking. We have had students from the past
years become our greatest promoters of the JPA. They tell everybody this
is really an awesome program. To me, JPA is community oriented policing
at its finest.”
Officer Mark Dillon
Hanford Police Department, California

“The JPA program brought the students together with law enforcement,
not only as mentors, but a true camaraderie. Before, the kids wouldn't look
at you and say hi. You were the authority figure and that was that. Now
you can walk through the campus, the mall and the streets and they
recognize you. They come up to you and say hi, how are you doing. It is
an entirely different level than we have witnessed before.”
Deputy Cory Hughston
Victoria County Sheriff’s Department, Texas

“JPA gives kids somewhere to be, something to do. Some kids come in
because their parents said to them, ‘This is where you are going.’ Those
kids walk away happy. We plan to expand our JPA Program……Make it
your own, that’s what we did.”
Linda Johnston
Ripon Police Department, California

“I have seen JPA change students. One at risk student in particular. It was
nice….he enjoyed JPA. Now I see him and we talk; he’s an ally now. The
other kids see me talking to him and then they start to come up to me as
well. It helps us to form better relationships and to better help them and Top to bottom:

 “The Junior Police Academy is one of those programs that gets students excited. When they are
excited, they come to school and stay involved. It gives us an opportunity to do our job and our
SRO can truly be a mentor.

“The students who have taken JPA have developed a relationship with our school resource
officer that makes them feel comfortable going to the officer if there is a problem. I can’t tell you
how many times I’ve seen the students talking to our SRO after school. JPA has helped build trust
and respect. “I think JPA needs to be in every middle school. I encourage all my peers to adopt
the program.”

Patricia Lyle, Curriculum Director, Bay City ISD, Texas

2000 Texas State Middle School Principal of the Year
(National Association of Secondary School Principals)
2001 Principal of the Year Finalist
(N.A.S.S.P.)

“Educating the cadets through JPA, provides them with important tools that they can utilize
now as well as for the rest of their lives. Knowledge is power! My cadets are armed with the
power to protect and serve their communities and to make a difference whether they
become officers or not. There is something for everyone in this course, and the positive
feedback from parents proves that the seeds we plant in the classroom are making a
difference!

11
 Step 1: Review JPA Materials
Take the time to review all the
materials included in the “Connecting
with Kids” Program Kit. Review the
CWK Courses, both the one included
in this Workbook and the Extended
Version located on the CD-ROM.
Be sure to fully review the CD-ROM’s
“Instructor’s Guide Interactive”
section. Here you will find a step-by-
step guide to launching a JPA
program in your community, including
video clips of instructors discussing
their local programs. Also visit the CD-
ROM’s “Good Advice” section,
offering valuable recommendations
for implementing the program, as well
as inspirational testimonials from JPA
Advisory Council.
Step 2: Choose a Program Setting
Currently JPA is used by communities
throughout the country in a number of
different program settings. Review the
following and choose the one that
best suits your schedule and
resources. (See opposite page for a
further details.)
Junior Police Academy After School
(An after-school program meeting
once a week for 5 to 12 weeks)
Junior Police Academy Summer
Camp
(A one-to-two week program offered
in a camp setting)
JPA Weekly Visits to the Classroom
(Periodic visits to the classroom
scheduled over the course of the
semester)
JPA Classroom
(A full semester course for middle
school & high school students
requiring the “CWK Course” Extended
Version found on the CD-ROM)
For additional information about these
program settings – from suggested
schedules to profiles of JPA programs
from across the country – visit the
12
“Instructor Center” on our website at
JuniorPoliceAcademy.org.
Step 3: Recruit Your Cadets
Now that you have a firm idea of the
structure and content of your local
program, it’s time to recruit student
participants. Create interest in the
program by showing “JPA: The
Movie”. (You can download a copy
from the JPA web site at For
additional information about
recruiting cadets, review the CD-
ROM’s “Instructor’s Guide Interactive”
section on recruitment.
Step 4: Gain Support from Parents
and Your Community
Having the support of your Cadet’s
parents, school administration and the
community is very important to any
JPA success. You may find that many
parents are interested in having their
children attend the academy.
So, make it a point to mention the
academy whenever possible at adult
presentations, no matter what the
topic. Invite all parents to your
graduation ceremony or to other
important classes. You may even
want to do a mail out to local clubs
and organizations. Your local
Chamber of Commerce should be
able to provide you with a listing of
clubs and organizations in your area.
Community support is important for
any youth program, including JPA.
Notify your local TV station,
newspaper, etc. that you are starting
a new youth program. Encourage
them to visit your classes and do a
story on your JPA Program. Your
community needs to know that law
enforcement is reaching out to
students through the JPA Program.
The educational materials found in the “Connecting with Kids” Program Kit can be taught
in a number of different educational settings –as they are in various places across the
country. You decide how the program is offered
depending on your schedule and your local set of circumstances.

Weekly Visits – Summer Camps – After-School

Schenectady, NY, officers offer the program as a Summer Camp, offering law
enforcement officers an opportunity to interact with young people in a one-on-one
setting that inspires friendship and trust.

In Ridgefield, CT, the program is presented for one hour, twice a week over the course of
the school semester.

The Houston Police Department offers JPA as an After-School program, which runs for
several weeks.

These three settings allow the instructor to pick and choose the lessons they wish to
present from the “Connecting with Kids” Course printed in this Workbook. You will
probably also want to combine the lessons offered by JPA with materials personalized for
the kids in your community.

(Instructors may also wish to supplement their program with lessons found in the
“Connecting with Kids Course: Extended Version found on the CD ROM – or include
materials from SAFE HARBOR, also found on the CD ROM. A “Suggested Schedule” for
JPA After School and Summer Camp are available on the CD ROM.)

JPA Classroom
Some departments, working with the local school district, offer JPA as a full-semester,
elective course. In Texas, Austin Independent School District and the AISD Police
Department offer JPA as a middle school course. California’s Hanford Police Department
offers a JPA course at Hanford High School during the summer semester. Taught by either
a teacher or a school resource officer, JPA Classroom introduces cadets to the role of
law enforcement in society, while strengthening the ties between cadets and police.

Offering JPA as a full-semester, elective course requires our “Connecting with Kids”
Course: Extended Version available free on the Connecting with Kids CD ROM in a
printable PDF format. (To order a printed copy of the course, visit our website at

“Classroom Success for the School Resource
Officer” is an educational course for SRO’s
designed to make their transition into the
classroom a successful one! Written by one of the
finest law enforcement educators in America,
Officer Suzanne D’Ambrose, this course is the
culmination of years of experience and expertise.
“Classroom Success for the School Resource
Officer” is an excellent educational resource for
instructors and law enforcement administrators
alike.
Suzanne D’Ambrose is the author of “Classroom
Success for the School Resource Officer”, a
comprehensive training program for members of
law enforcement agencies interested in working
with young people. She is a teacher and a
retired police officer living in New Jersey.
Suzanne, tell me a little bit about your course for
School Resource Officers.
Basically, it’s methods of instruction. My short title
is ‘Teaching police officers how to teach.’
Why is it important to teach police officers how to
teach?
Teaching is completely different than being a
police officer. In police work, you are involved in
one on one or one on two situations, correcting
behavior. Teaching is a whole different
ballgame. You are trying to get across
information and you want your audience to be
excited about it. As a police officer, you don’t
need to get people excited about paying a
parking meter.
How did you go about structuring the course?
Basically, I took my training as a teacher and my
experience as a police officer and pulled
together what I thought was important.
And where did you get your training?
I did a 40-hour FBI course at the Academy on
instructor development and I majored in
education at Seton Hall. I started out as a
teacher during the school year and a part-time
police officer in the summer and developed my
current career on my own time.
Which job do you prefer, teaching or police
work?
There are things I love about both jobs. I love it
when my graduates who work with me on the Bel
Mar force call to say they took a job with NYPD. I
just love that!
What is your primary goal in this course?
I just want my students to feel comfortable in their
first year as teachers. I want them to be so
comfortable that they are only thinking of the
best way to convey the information.
What are some of the tips you offer your teachers?
Get a lot of sleep! And take a lot of vitamins! First
year teachers catch a lot of colds!
Do you think certain personality traits help people
become good teachers?
Absolutely! Dedication is important. They should
want to be there. In other words, they shouldn’t
just be assigned to a
teaching position.
They should have a
passion for their career
that they want to pass
on to cadets. It’s just
like anything you do
well – you should love
it! I know that sounds
like something you
would hear on Oprah
but it’s really true.
Are you seeing more
women take an interest in law enforcement
through your class?
Well, definitely more and more. It’s still 95% male
dominated field but it’s changing, thanks to
shows like CSI. Women are becoming much
more prevalent within law enforcement.
How have you seen your course and your
students change since the events of 9/11?
I have seen a lot more respect for police officers
and firefighters. A lot of my students are voluntary
firefighters and EMT’s. As for the course, we
changed some of our curriculum to include a little
more forensics but it pretty much the same.
Is there a goal SRO’s should strive for?
Our number one goal, as SRO’s, is to get our
students prepared to work in law enforcement.
During their senior year, our students are assigned
internships where they shadow actual police
officers on duty. They receive actual college
credit for their hours on the job. It’s a great way
to invest in their future.
19
 Safety education for kids doesn’t have to be scary! As a matter
of fact, to be effective, emergency preparedness must
empower young people’s self-assurance and confidence.

“As law enforcement officers, we feel

these are the qualities that will best serve
our young citizens in the event of an
emergency’” says Officer John Clapp of
the White Settlement Police Department
and JPA Advisory Council Member.
