What is the Youth Police & Fire Academy? The Novi Police and Fire Departments pride themselves on developing and maintaining strong partnerships with the community, including Novi’s youth.
The Youth Police & Fire Academy was created to provide area teens with an inside look at local law enforcement and fire prevention.
During a one-week, four hour a day course, Novi’s Public Safety staff will educate attendees on a variety of subjects pertaining to law enforcement and fire safety and prevention. Each Novi Youth Police & Fire Academy graduate will gain a deeper knowledge of how the Public Safety fits into the Novi Community.
The purpose of the Novi Youth Police & Fire Academy is to:
- Increase understanding through education and interaction with the Police and Fire Departments.
- Provide positive interaction with Department staff and to educate youth about the challenges and responsibility of law enforcement and fire prevention.
