EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ (PSA) – The East Brunswick Police Department is currently accepting applications for the 15th Annual Youth Police Academy.

This year’s academy will be open to individuals from 13 to 17 years of age who reside or attend school in East Brunswick. This one-week program will provide an excellent opportunity for young members of the community to get a better understanding on how the East Brunswick Police operates and how the police officers serve and protect our community. Each cadet will enjoy opportunities to enjoy team building activities and learn a great deal about respect and tolerance while having fun. The program also includes a field trip to a local law enforcement site such as the New Jersey State Police Museum or equivalent.

Registrations must be completed no later than May 13, 2022.
We must limit the number of cadets that are accepted into the program, so please submit your application(s) as soon as possible. Due to a high number of anticipated applicants and the limited class size, cadets who are new to the program may be accepted over previous graduates.
