The Renton Police Department Youth Academy is a fun-filled, action-packed four-day program exploring public safety fields and making meaningful connections with those who serve and protect our community. We collaborate with the King County Sheriff's Office, Newcastle Police Department, and DEA’s Operation Engage to offer this FREE hands-on learning experience.
Thank you for entrusting us with the opportunity to educate and inspire our community's next generation of leaders. We look forward to working with you and your middle schooler.
