What is the Roseville Junior Police Academy?

The Roseville Junior Police Academy (JPA) is an engaging five-day program designed to give young participants a hands-on introduction to law enforcement and the life of a police officer. Running daily from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., the academy provides a unique opportunity for participants to challenge themselves, develop new skills, build teamwork, and forge new relationships.

On the final day, family members will be invited to attend the graduation ceremony, where they can see firsthand what the junior trainees have learned throughout the week.

To participate in the Junior Police Academy, you will need to submit an application, write a short essay, and submit one letter of recommendation. This academy is limited to 20 junior trainees.
