Junior High Cadet Academy

The Junior High Cadet Academy gives inspiring adolescents who are fascinated with becoming a Police Officer the opportunity to join the Moore Police Department for a weeklong adventurous learning experience.

The Academy provides fun, team-building challenges, a field trip, and quality time with real-world law enforcement officers. By joining the Junior Police Academy, selectees have the opportunity to become experts on what it means to “OBSERVE, LEARN, AND PROTECT!” 

The Junior High Cadet Academy is for Incoming 7th & 8th grade students for the 2025-2026 school year. Students will be given a Junior High Cadet Academy shirt (worn each day of class), an academy journal, a daily drink & snack, one (1) field trip, and there will be an end-of-week donut eating competition.

Up to twenty (20) participants will be selected based on the application and essay. Students must have at least a "C" grade point average to be considered. Preference will be given to students who reside within the city limits of Moore, followed by those residing within the Moore Schools geographic boundary. Our goal is to reach as many youth as we can with this program so first-time applicants are preferred. Any school student (home, public, virtual, private) is eligible to apply.
