Jr. Police Academy:
The Benton County Sheriff’s Office began the Police Athletic League in early 2009,
which is a Juvenile Crime Prevention program. One of the activities PAL has to offer
is our Jr. Police Academy which started in the summer of 2009. This program selects
approximately 30 kids per class throughout Benton County and teaches them all aspects of
Law Enforcement. Each division from the Sheriff’s Office is involved in teaching the students
how they perform their daily duties. Some of the topics covered during the week long program are
listed below.

If you have any questions about our academy please email Chris or
