The Pomona Police Department in a partnership with Philadelphia Elementary School and the Pomona Unified School District spent the last 12 weeks working with 97 kids, ages 8-13 yrs old, to complete our newly developed COPS 4 KIDS program. The core values of Respect, Responsibility and Character are the foundation of this program while we instill strict self-discipline in our students who proudly roar their motto, Respect Given is Respect Earned.
The course took three months to complete that focused on academics, physical fitness, military style drills and personal responsibility. The program culminated on Saturday with an "Academy Day" that consisted of academic exams, Drill Protocol, obstacle courses and friendly competition. The kids were joined by members of the Police Department who provided demonstrations related to the Aero Unit, K-9, SWAT and School Resource Officers.
A formal graduation is planned later this week to share the experience with the student's family members.
Specific questions about the program can directed to Corporal Chad Jensen at (909) 620-3616.
