Two summer opportunities for High School Students

Just one more week of school - can't believe how fast this year went.  But checking my mail I came across two great opportunities for this summer.

• The American Legion State Police Youth Week
  • a law enforcement practicum for high school students completing their JUNIOR YEAR - cost $125.

• TRCC Pre-Manufacturing Certificate Summer Program
  • FREE to high-school graduates and under/unemployed adults who are interested in Manufacturing Careers

They both should like great learning opportunities. 

To all students out there - good luck with your exams - and have a great summer.

American Legion State Police Youth Week

American Legion State Police Youth Week
State Police Training Academy in Meriden, CT
Sunday, July 15 - Friday, July 20, 2012

The American Legion Department of Connecticut and the State of Connecticut Department of Public Safety, Division of State Police, announce their joint sponsorship of the 13th Annual State Police Youth Week.

The program offers insight into the training, duties and expectations of Law Enforcement Officers. The program provides realistic experience, patterned after recruit training at the Connecticut State Police Academy, and affords individuals considering a law enforcement career the opportunity to gain knowledge of the professional life of a police officer.

Cadets will participate in a variety of mentally and physically demanding instructional sessions, including patrol techniques, the Connecticut Penal and Motor Vehicle Codes, criminal and accident investigation, firearms safety and training, team-building and confidence training, defensive driving techniques, and other law enforcement skill training.
Cadets will experience the daily activities of recruit training, including 5:15 reveille, physical conditioning, inspection of quarters, and participation in assigned details.

COMPLETED APPLICATIONS, INCLUDING PERSONAL STATEMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS, ACCOMPANIED BY THE $125.00 FEE, MUST BE RECEIVED BY FRIDAY, JUNE 22,2012.
