The students, selected through an application process administered by the Pennsylvania State Police and the Tioga County Partnership for Community Health, spent the week on campus in a structure simulating a police academy atmosphere that emphasized self-discipline and responsibility.
Cadets participated in tactical team exercises, crime scene processing, communications, orienteering, swimming and other activities.
The goal of the camp is to develop an understanding of the role and job responsibilities that municipal officers, probation officers, state troopers and other members of the law enforcement community perform.
