The West Springfield Park & Recreation Department, in partnership with the West Springfield Police Department, is excited to offer a Junior Police Academy, for children ages 9-11 as of September 1, 2025 and is held at the West Springfield High School. At the Junior Police Academy, children will experience first-hand what it is like to be a Police Officer. This includes marching exercises, defensive tactics, investigating crimes, mock accidents/crime scenes, K-9 demonstrations, a field trip to a local ropes course and much more. There will be NO swimming during Junior Police Academy. Parents will need to provide their own transportation to and from, provide their own breakfast/lunch/snack and bring a water bottle for their child. Participants will receive a complimentary t-shirt.
