Teen Academy Success!

Last week, the Firestone Police Department hosted 22 teens from Firestone for a 4-day Teen Police Academy. Students had a full few days! Officer Dunker and Officer Neugebauer enjoyed sharing about all aspects of a career in law enforcement. A few highlights include:

• Fingerprinting & Handcuffing
• SWAT Presentation
• Rescue Demonstrations
• Building Searches
• K9 Presentation & Demonstration
• Bomb Squad Presentation
• Use of Force Continuum & Simulator
• Traffic Stops & Accidents
• Drone Demonstration
• Fire Department Presentation

 
We appreciate the support and participation from Frederick-Firestone Fire Protection District, Carbon Valley Emergency Management Agency, and Weld County Sheriff’s Office, including Weld County SWAT, Weld County K9, and the Weld County Bomb Squad.
 
And a big thank you to Firestone’s Jersey Mike’s, Papa John’s and Blackjack Pizza, and Chick-Fil-A of Longmont for donating lunches to the participants last week.
