An overview of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is also included. In addition, a field trip to the Passaic
County Police Academy, Wayne, NJ and Thunder Mountain Trap and Skeet where students will participate in basic firearms safety and training.
The daily schedule is from 8:00 am – 3:00 pm. Students are to be dropped off at the E.G. Hewitt School, no later than 8:00 am. Transportation is the responsibility of the parent or guardian. Please be prompt when dropping off and picking up your children.
It is required that each student bring his or her own lunch for the first four days. Please label lunch containers. Throughout the day, there will be several breaks between blocks of instruction, so several snacks/drinks are recommended. On the fifth day, August 21 st students will be dropped off at the Skyline
Lakes Fire Department for morning training and lunch will be provided.
There will also be a $100.00 fee for each student. The fee will cover miscellaneous expenses for the
Junior Police Academy, Academy shorts, shirts, hat, travel bag, water bottle and the picnic, which will be held on Friday, August 21 st .
A Graduation ceremony will take place on August 21 st at 1:00 pm at Skyline Lakes Fire Department.
Each recruit will receive a certificate upon completion of the week long academy.
Attached please find the required application forms that must be completed and returned.
