Kids Get A Taste Of Law Enforcement At Police Camp

FREDERICK, Md. - At least 50 children received a closeup look at police work on Tuesday as part of the Frederick Youth Police Academy.
 
The kids, ages 5 to 14, saw everything that is involved with police work at the three-day camp that's hosted by the police department every summer.
 
The police demonstrations on Tuesday included K-9 work, where one officer played a criminal trying to escape and a SWAT team information session where kids heard from SWAT team members and felt how heavy their equipment is by picking it up themselves.
