Warwickshire Police is holding a two day event on 15th and 16th October for the young people of Warwickshire, and we are called the Warwickshire Police Youth Academy.
This is the first event of this nature in the UK, and is aimed at any young person with an interest in the Police/Emergency services, their community or just simply a great couple of days out doing something new and interesting.
The Academy is aimed for anyone aged 14-16.
Over the course of the two days the attendees will see
-A Police helicopter land and take off
-Police dogs training
-Firearms officers
