WHY: 135 high school seniors will graduate from The Los Angeles Police Academy Magnet School Program, which prepares highly motivated young men and women for careers in law enforcement and related fields. The program is monitored by an assigned LAPD police officer and a faculty member at each of the six participating Police Academy Schools.
The education goal of the program is to have 100 percent participation of students, who graduate from high school, matriculate to community colleges or universities with the long-term goal of developing tomorrow’s police officers.
There are approximately 1,200 students enrolled in five high schools – Wilson, Dorsey, Monroe, San Pedro and Reseda High Schools – and Mulholland Middle School. Ninety-five percent of participating students complete the four year enrollment program while in high school.
