Kansas High School Students Experience Patrol Academy

High school students from across Kansas are attending the Kansas Highway Patrol’s Cadet Law Academy this week in Salina.

The camp gives students a condensed version of the patrol’s training.

The Salina Journal reports many of the students, who will be seniors in the fall, are considering a career in law enforcement.

While at the camp, the students experience traffic stops, pursuit driving, as well as firearms and defense training. On Tuesday, they were flying over Saline County in patrol airplanes. They also are required to do daily exercise and have their rooms inspected for cleanliness.

The camp is a nationally sanctioned program sponsored by the American Legion and Legion Auxiliary.
