TPD Announces 2019 T.A.C. Students Summer Academy
April 09, 2019
The Tallahassee Police Department is currently accepting applications for the T.A.C. Students Summer Academy Leadership Program. This program is designed to prepare high school students to be leaders in every phase of their lives. It is a program that was inspired by the Tallahassee Police Department's Tactical Apprehension and Control (T.A.C.) Team and is led by police officers, investigators, and other distinguished professionals within our community.
The acronym in T.A.C. Students represents: Training, Achievement, and Confidence. The goal of the program is to prepare students to have the skills and knowledge to be leaders now and in the future. Students never know exactly what they are going to face in life. Through training and achievements they develop the confidence to overcome any situation. Becoming a part of this team is challenging, but the experience is one of a kind.
During the five day program, students will have these interactive classes: Decision-Making, Defining Relationships, Planning for the Future, and Becoming a Leader. During the final day students will attempt to solve a mock crime scene investigation, where they play the role of police officers, investigators, forensic technicians, dispatchers, and public information officers.
Date: Monday, June 17 - Friday, July 21, 2019
Time: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Location: Florida Public Safety Institute (Meet at the Tallahassee Police Department)
The class will be limited to 20 students for the summer academy and the process is competitive. Any interested high school students or parents of interested students, should contact Officer Priscilla Clark at Priscilla.Clark@talgov.com to request an application.
