The Livonia Police Department is excited to announce its second annual Youth Leadership Academy, designed for students aged 15-18 who reside in Livonia and/or attend school in the city.

This one-week program provides students with hands-on training and classroom instruction to learn the day-to-day functions of a police officer. Students will participate in daily physical fitness training and explore the various functions of the police department, including the Detective Bureau, Crime Scene Unit, Mobile Field Force, Honor Guard, SWAT, and K-9 demonstrations. Additionally, students will develop essential leadership skills and receive certification in First Aid / CPR. By providing a well-rounded experience, the Livonia Police Leadership Academy will empower young individuals to become informed, capable, and responsible community leaders.
