The JPA program has been well received with the City's resident youth and has expanded every year. Designed to expose Ripon youth to law enforcement career options, the classes run during the summer months, and give students a chance to explore the career opportunities in a "hands-on" environment. Participants will conduct a mock crime scene investigation, and receive instruction on police report writing.
