About 20 Grade 11 and 12 students from various high schools in Abbotsford spent their second week of spring break learning about what it's like to be a police officer.
The week-long 50-hour Junior Police Academy was held March 20 to 24 by the Abbotsford Police Department to give interested students a sneak peek at a law-enforcement career.
The students received lessons on basic law, police control tactics and self-defence methods, and even had a day at the firearms range.
The program finished Friday with the students applying what they had learned during a scenario-based training day where they were challenged as "police officers" to resolve problems.
