The Indiana Youth Cadet Law Enforcement Academy, which is a
partnership between the Indiana Troopers Youth Services and The American Legion
Dept. of Indiana, provides first-hand experiences and insight into the
operations of law enforcement agencies.
The program also affords these highly motivated young people an
opportunity to consider law enforcement as a potential career choice.
“If this program changes one life, keeps one at-risk youth
off the streets and out of a body bag if it redirects one Hoosier youth life
from negative to positive, we believe it’s worth it,” said Indiana Youth Cadet
Law Enforcement Academy Chairman Mark Gullion.
The 2018 Academy will be limited to the first 50 registered
applicants. Registration is open to boys
and girls currently in grades 9 thru 12.
The registration/sponsorship fee is $300.00 per Cadet. This fee, which may be paid by a Post,
District or by donation, is payable to the Department of Indiana no later than
June 1, 2018.
The 2018 Academy will take place on the campus of the
University of Indianapolis (UI), July 15th thru 20th, 2018. Please visit the Trooper Camp's website for more registration information and form
or contact Sgt. Danielle Elwood Henderson at (317) 450-8720 for information.
The American Legion is comprised of more than 77,000
military service veterans who have served honorably during times of conflict in
defense of their nation and has been active within Indiana since 1919. The
Indiana American Legion has represented veterans from every major conflict
since World War II to Iraq and Afghanistan within its membership.
