The fifth annual Clermont County Junior Police Academy, sponsored in part by the Loveland Police Division, is nearly here, but this year things will run a little differently from years past. The program provides four weeklong camps where children aged 13-17 interact with law enforcement and are taught basic law enforcement skills.

The camp dates are set  June 16^th & June 23^rd at New Hope Baptist Church in Loveland, and July 7^th at New Richmond High School. The camp runs from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

More than 30 officers from 17 police agencies team up for the summer camp series, sponsored by Goshen Township, Loveland, and New Richmond Police Departments, with help from the Boys and Girls Club of New Richmond, and the County Sheriff's office.
