HALIBURTON HIGHLANDS- The Haliburton Highlands OPP announced its first Youth Police Academy.
Police say 20 enthusiastic students were accepted into the program, and they’ve been bringing the energy since day one. The academy kicked off with orientation on March 25, 2026, followed by a second action-packed class on April 1, 2026.Throughout the academy, students will get an inside look at the many specialized units within the OPP, with guest speakers sharing their real-world experiences and expertise.
April 1st was a huge highlight! Students had the incredible opportunity to watch a K9 demonstration and learn about the unique and vital roles of our ERT (Emergency Response Team) and SAVE Unit (Snow Vehicle, All terrain Vehicle, Vessel Enforcement/Education).
