OLYMPIA — Washington state high school juniors and seniors with an interest in law enforcement as a career will have an opportunity to spend a week this summer learning about the roles and job opportunities within law enforcement.

Applications are being accepted for the 41st Annual Washington State-Kiwanis Youth Law Enforcement Camp at the Washington State Patrol Academy in Shelton from July 22-28.

Applications can be downloaded from the Washington State Patrol’s web page at www.wsp.wa.gov/event/2018-kiwanis-law-enforcement-camp. The application deadline is May 6.

The purpose of the camp is to provide selected high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to explore various job opportunities in the law enforcement field. Students are given a hands-on experience on the WSP drive-course and tactical firing range and will get to work with forensics, SWAT, K-9 and other police functions.

Many students who attend this week-long camp go on to have careers in the criminal justice field.
