Feedback from Cadets and Their Parents

  • "...the impact [the officers] left with my son is immeasurable. He entered the academy timidly and left the academy with independence and confidence."

    — Kristen S.

  • "The academy taught me the importance of a team and the confidence to become a leader. I learned that no goal is too big as long as you push yourself and challenge your mind. The JPA was the highlight of my summer and I am so glad I did it!"

    — Cole S.

  • "This summer, our youngest daughter participated in the Warwick Junior Police Academy. Since this was its first year we did not know what to expect. Between the physical training, off-sight adventures and the understanding that the police are here to help, Aislin would come home each day excited and full of stories."

  • "I loved how each day I learned something different. There were so many great adventures that I will never forget. My favorite spots that we visited were the Orange County 911 center and the West Point Museum. There were many great visitors that came to our class. We had a K-9 demonstration, bike safety course and a fingerprinting lesson. I loved how structured JPA was"

  • "The Officers created a structured and regimented routine which was also fun and engaging. The 10 days of academy went so quickly and each day was something new and engaging for the cadets. I truly found this program to be life changing for my son in his formative years and something he will carry with him forever. The graduation ceremony to conclude the hard work everyone put in was so special."

  • "I loved being a part of the Warwick JPA. I had so much fun, made new friends and learned so much. The Officers taught us about what they do daily and what goes into being a Police Officer. The field trips were a lot of fun and my favorite part was the ride along and the graduation. I wish it was longer than 2 weeks."

  • "The Academy was well organized, fun, and provided practical education in topics like bicycle safety. It also fostered a positive relationship between the students and the officers. And I’m jealous of all the exciting field trips they took. I can’t complement each of the officers enough. The Town of Warwick Junior Police Academy is one more reason to feel blessed to live in this great town! "

  • "I am 15 years old and attended the Junior Police Academy over the summer with my younger sister. It was a fun experience. I learned a lot and we took many field trips which made learning fun. We also got to spend a lot of time doing things outdoors, which was great. Also, it was very easy to make friends with other kids there."
