The Sevierville Police Department (SPD) has scheduled a Kids Police Camp for kids from June 11 to 15. The Camp will take place daily from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The purpose of Police Camp is to provide the opportunity for young men and women, 12 to14 years of age, to learn basic police skills in a SAFE, organized and structured environment.  Activities and classes will be conducted primarily at the Sevierville Police Department, with field trips planned to the Gatlinburg Sportsman’s Club.

The camp director and staff are comprised of professional police officers that are trained and experienced law enforcement instructors.  All Police Camp activities will be supervised and controlled by the camp staff.  Parents are welcome and encouraged to visit the camp in progress at their convenience.

Planned activities include self-defense, safety with firearms, police radio procedures, fingerprinting and many other duties performed by police officers.  Campers will also take part in practical exercises simulating situations such as searching buildings and stopping vehicles.
