The annual Junior Police Academy is a 3 day program this year, consisting of hands-on activities, physical training, field trips, lectures and presentations by law enforcement and first responder professionals.
The objective of the JPA is to promote an environment as experienced by police recruits in which students learn the basic principles of respect, discipline, teamwork, motivation, confidence and dedication. These are life lessons that students will take far beyond their days at the Junior Police Academy. —
Applicants must reside in Mahwah and have successfully completed 5th grade in a public or parochial school.
