Platt Tech Students complete Youth Training
August 30, 2017
Each summer, the CT State Police and the American Legion host a summer youth camp for high school students. The program offers insight into the training, duties and expectations of Law Enforcement Officers. Platt Technical High School Students Michelle Aiello and Christopher Miller successfully completed the 2017 Summer Session. The program provides realistic experience, patterned after recruit training at the Connecticut State Police Academy, and affords individuals considering a law enforcement career the opportunity to gain knowledge of the professional life of a police officer. Cadets will participate in a variety of mentally and physically demanding instructional sessions, including patrol techniques, the Connecticut Penal and Motor Vehicle Codes, criminal and accident investigation, firearms safety and training, water safety training, team-building and confidence training, defensive driving techniques, and other law enforcement skill training. Cadets will experience the daily activities of recruit training, including 5:15 reveille, physical conditioning, inspection of quarters, and participation in assigned details.
