The New Hampshire Police Cadet Training Academy is currently accepting applications for the 2011 session. Sponsored for the past 38 years by the New Hampshire Police Association and the New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police, along with the Exploring Division of the Daniel Webster Council, the New Hampshire Police Cadet Training Academy offers young men and women ages 14 to 20 the opportunity to experience life as a police recruit. This year, the week-long Academy will take place at the Hesser College campus in Manchester from June 25 to July 1. There are three academy sessions held during the same week.


The Academy starts with the Basic Class, designed for the first-time Cadet, and is limited to 100 applicants. The Cadet who returns for the second year attends the Advanced Academy. This is limited to 36 applicants. The third-year Cadets are usually very serious about a pursuing a career in law enforcement and attend the Leadership Academy. This is limited to 20 applicants. The Academy staff is all police officers from New Hampshire,


whose time is generously donated by the Chiefs, Directors, and Selectmen. Training for all three class levels is conducted by the most prestigious law enforcement officials in local, county, state, and federal law enforcement, as well as professionals from


business, media, and academia. The training has both physical and educational demands, the classroom topics are fascinating, and the discipline is motivating. Registration deadline is June 10, but applications are considered on a first-come, first-serve basis. At the conclusion of the Academy, the staff awards two


scholarships worth a total of $1,500 to students continuing their education in the law enforcement or criminal justice fields.
