Police Junior Academy
The Asheville Police Department is excited to announce that a Junior Police Academy program will commence this Summer!
Summer 2026 dates coming soon.
The academy is open to juveniles aged 14-18 who are currently in High School and have an interest in law enforcement. The academy will feature instruction in basic law enforcement principles and practices. It’s going to be physically taxing and intellectually stimulating. If your child is interested, please encourage them to apply.
