The Demopolis Police Department’s annual Demopolis Children’s Police Academy is set to begin on June 5 and will go through June 9. The Academy will be open to children currently enrolled in elementary school, ages 5 through 12. Each day will start at 8:00 a.m. and dismiss at 12:00 p.m. Lunch will be provided.

The sessions will consist of in-town field trips to the Demopolis Public Library, the Demopolis Fire Department and the playground at the city landing. There will also be classroom presentations each day that will consist of “Eddie the Eagle Gun Safety” which teaches children what to do if they find or see a gun and Anti-Bullying which will teach children what bullying is, what to do and who to tell if they feel they are being bullied.

There will also be a graduation ceremony at the Demopolis Police Department. The class will be limited to the first 15 participants. Applications may be picked at the front office of the Demopolis Police Department. In the event the first class runs over in attendance, we will host a 2nd class.
