Youth Law Enforcement Camp offers career path, purpose
We are pleased to announce that the Law Enforcement Camp is returning in 2024!
High school juniors and seniors who have an interest in a career in law enforcement may apply to attend the Youth Law Enforcement Camp. The program allows students to explore job opportunities and exposes them to problems encountered by law enforcement officers on a daily basis and how to handle these situations in a professional manner. For more information go to www.kiwanislawenforcementcamp.com
From the WSP website:
"The Washington State Patrol and other police departments provide officers as staff to instruct and be counselors to the students. This gives students a variety of experiences and expertise in other areas of federal, state, county, and local law enforcement.
Some of the most popular classes and demonstrations include the WSP SWAT team, Canine, driving course, and defensive tactics. We also have guest speakers from various agencies to provide first hand information to the students.
With each class a close bond is formed and lasting friendships are made. Approximately 80% of the students go on to law enforcement careers.
Once a young person is accepted for the camp, they should contact their local Kiwanis Club to seek sponsorship for the $500.00 per cadet fee."
