Trooper Youth Week was developed by the New Jersey State Police with the intention of conducting simulated law enforcement programs for students who have completed their junior year and are entering their senior year of High School. The week's activities include lectures and presentations covering all facets of police work. Participants will be exposed to a disciplined quasi-military environment, including military drill in combination with structured fast moving programs of classroom activities, lectures, films, practical exercises and physical training, simulating the recruit training experience. The program emphasizes courtesy, professionalism, respect and teamwork. Additional presentations will include strategies for anger management, conflict resolution and cultural diversity.
