🚔👮♂️ Fowlerville Youth Academy – Day 1 Complete! 👮♀️🚔
What an incredible first day with our Youth Academy cadets!
The day started with some PT (physical training), where the cadets learned the importance of teamwork, discipline, and staying active. They also received an introduction to careers in law enforcement and the military, learning what it takes to become a police officer or join the Army.
Our cadets then learned all about 9-1-1 dispatching and how dispatchers coordinate emergency responses for police, fire, and EMS. A special thank you to our very own Brie for helping teach this important lesson and giving the cadets a behind-the-scenes look at emergency communications!
Throughout the day, the cadets practiced military-style marching and formations with guidance from the Army personnel assisting with the academy. They worked hard, stayed focused, and did a fantastic job.
The day wrapped up with an introduction to standardized field sobriety testing, where cadets learned some of the techniques officers use during traffic stops and impaired driving investigations.
We are so proud of all the hard work and enthusiasm shown by our cadets on Day 1, and we can’t wait to see what Day 2 has in store!
Stay tuned for more photos and updates throughout the week! 📸🚓💙
