Brentwood, CA

The Brentwood Police Department is excited to launch its first Youth Academy, beginning June 22, to give young people in the community a behind-the-scenes look at local law enforcement.

The Youth Academy is designed to help participants learn more about the Brentwood Police Department, its officers, and the many specialized units and responsibilities within the agency. Youth participants will have the opportunity to explore topics such as SWAT, investigations and detectives, evidence collection, traffic stops, dispatch operations, and other important areas of police work.

The program also provides a valuable opportunity for the Police Department to build positive relationships with local youth. Through hands-on learning, open conversations, and direct interaction with officers, participants can gain a better understanding of public safety, decision-making, teamwork, and the role law enforcement plays in the community.
