Acadiana teens are participating in the Lafayette Police Department s second Junior Police Academy this week.
The cadet academy will run through Friday, July 23, and welcomes ages 13-15.
It focuses on increasing youth awareness and confidence, relationship building, learning the various aspects of law enforcement, and creating a better understanding between youth and police through education and a fun learning experience.
