Ocean Township Junior Police Academy

The Ocean Township Junior Police Academy is not a “boot camp” for troubled youth, but a camp designed to operate like an actual police academy. You do not have to want to be a police officer to enjoy this camp! The objective of the Junior Police Academy is to educate the recruits with various police procedures, history of law enforcement and familiarization with numerous specialty units within the law enforcement field such as Police K-9, Special Weapons and Tactics (S.W.A.T.), Traffic Safety, Haz-Mat and Emergency Management, Motorcycle Patrol, Bicycle Patrol and Criminal Investigations to name a few. The curriculum will consist of educational activities as well as physical training.

Those wishing to participate in the Junior Police Academy must:

  • Must be a current 4th, 5th or 6th grade student.

  • Must be eager to learn and participate!

The cost of the academy is $100.00 which will be collected upon the recruits’ acceptance.  Due to the overwhelming response and  the increase in attendance we will be limiting enrollment. Once the applications are out for distribution please do not wait to turn in your application. Acceptance will be on a first come first serve basis.

Any questions please contact Ptl. Michael Cicero #317 via email @ MCicero@twpoceannj.gov or at 609-693-4007 ext 317.
