JUNIOR
CADET LAW
ACADEMY

The Indiana Youth Cadet Law Enforcement Academy is a partnership between the Indiana Troopers Youth Services and The American Legion, Dept. of Indiana. The academy provides first-hand experiences and insight into the operations of law enforcement agencies and also affords these highly motivated young people an opportunity to consider law enforcement as a potential career choice.
 
“If this program changes one life, keeps one at-risk youth off the streets and out of a body bag if it redirects one Hoosier youth life from negative to positive, we believe it’s worth it,” said committee member Mark Gullion.
 
Registration is open to boys and girls currently in grades 9 thru 12. The cost to attend camp is $400 per Cadet, however, the cadet only has to pay $50, as $350 of this fee is covered by The American Legion, Department of Indiana posts. Participants must have transportation to and from camp, which is held at Anderson University in Anderson, Indiana.
 
“The American Legion believes that our youth have a strong sense of patriotism and a high regard for Law and Order, said Gullion. “The objective of IYCLEA Camp is to provide a first-hand look at the role of a police officer in today’s society.”
 
Program takes place on June 22-28, 2025 at Anderson University.
