They may be sponsored by Kiwanis clubs, school counselors or law enforcement agencies, some of which may also be willing to extend financial support. No one will be rejected on the basis of race, color, ethnic background or ability to pay. All applicants are subject to background checks, to be conducted with their consent, as no one may become a police officer with a criminal background. Students will gain full insight into this fulfilling profession under the tutelage of a cadre of counselors and instructors who are dedicated police officers and excellent role models in all aspects of life. Living in this atmosphere for a very full week will establish whether or not they will continue their venture into law enforcement.
