Teen Academy Offers an interactive, behind-the-scenes look into the operations of the Orange Police Department.  The goal of the Academy is to mentor or youth and create a strong partnership between the Police Department and young adults in the community.

Twenty six teenagers from our community participated in our first Teen Academy in June of 2024.  The purpose of the academy was to mentor our youth and build character for the future leaders of Orange.  Eight teens admitted their parents forced them into the program but by the end of the program, all participants, including our officers, enjoyed the experience.  The number one suggestion from the teens, "We wish the academy was longer."  Thank you to the Orange Police Foundation for sponsoring the Teen Academy and investing in our youth.
