JACKSON COUNTY, Fla. (WDNews) — According to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, children ages 8-12 will have an opportunity to learn about law enforcement through the agency’s annual Junior Deputy Day Camp this summer.
Officials said the camp is designed to give participants a behind-the-scenes look at the sheriff’s office and provide hands-on exposure to various aspects of law enforcement.
“Think you have what it takes to wear the badge? Join us for Junior Deputy Day Camp and experience law enforcement like never before. Meet deputies, explore specialized units, and get an inside look at the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office,” the sheriff’s office said in a social media announcement.
Camp dates are scheduled for June 23, June 25 and July 1. Each child may attend only one camp date, and officials encourage families to register early because space is limited.
According to the sheriff’s office, Sheriff Donnie Edenfield invites future deputies to participate and learn from multiple divisions, including patrol, investigations, dispatch, K-9 tracking, K-9 detection, aviation and dive units.
The camp will run from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Participants should select their preferred date when registering.
