Kids' Police Academy

Springfield Township Police Department hosts a Kids' Police Academy for one week each summer. Children participating in the program have the opportunity to interact with police officers on an individual basis while learning about the operations of a police department as well as fingerprinting, bike patrol, safety and canine use.  

The Kids' Police Academy is open to Springfield Township children ages 8 -13 only and filled on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Classes are from 9 a.m. to noon at the Springfield Township Police Department, 1130 Compton Road. The week concludes with a graduation ceremony and pizza party for the students and officers.

Questions about the Kids' Police Academy should be directed to Sgt. Scott Middendorf at 729-1300.
