The Youth Academy is designed to give Meridian youth the opportunity to learn about the police department and gain an understanding of the functions and responsibilities that come with providing law enforcement services in the City of Meridian.
Over 5 days the class will participate in various presentations given by Meridian Police Department personnel such as patrol functions, detectives, CSI, SWAT, K9 unit, traffic stops, and more. The class will also visit the Ada County Dispatch Center and Jail.
To ensure that all students fully benefit from this program, we kindly request that youth only consider participating if they can commit to attending all five days, have a genuine interest in the course content, and are ready to actively engage and focus on classroom activities and presentations.
Please check back with us in the Spring of 2025 for information on the next class.
