Join us for an exciting, week-long adventure at the Santa Cruz Junior Sheriff's Academy, held at San Lorenzo Valley High School! This half-day program (8 AM–12 PM) is led by our dedicated Sheriff's Deputies and offers youth a unique, behind-the-scenes look at law enforcement. Participants will tour the Sheriff's Office, meet the Sheriff, and get hands-on experience with CSI techniques, defensive tactics, and basic first aid. They'll also meet our SWAT team, interact with K-9 units, and tour Felton Fire. The week is packed with fun activities including scavenger hunts, games, investigations, and a swim day. We wrap it all up with a family BBQ celebration—don’t miss this action-packed week of learning, fun, and unforgettable experiences!
