26 Recruits
Complete 2010
Youth Police Academy
 

Freehold Borough Police Department
Monday, August 2, 2010

They put up with screaming, in-your-face drill instructors, hours of pushups, and miles of running, but on Friday, July 30, 2010 they graduated the Freehold Borough Police Department's 3rd Annual Youth Police Academy.

The two-week program is available for kids between the ages of 12 to 16 years old and is held every year by the PD.  It is a condensed version of the actual police academy, and it is very intense.

Courses of instruction include blocks given by the FBI, Secret Service, US Marshals, Air Marshals, ATF, ICE, S.W.A.T., and much more.

Additionally, there is a lot of rigorous physical training including running every morning and PT every afternoon.  In the second week of the program, the class does the annual Miracle Mile run through the Freehold Borough downtown.   (The run is actually about 1.5 miles)

While the program primarily serves youths from Freehold Borough, we do accept several from surrounding towns.

The Freehold Borough Police Department congratulates these twenty-six recruits for persevering through a very difficult program.
