Monmouth County Sheriff Shaun Golden is offering high school aged students from the county the opportunity to learn about a variety of topics that are relevant to the duties of a law enforcement professional through the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office Law Enforcement Mini Academy.
“This is a great experience for our youths with an interest in law enforcement, since it allows them to explore possibilities in the profession,” Golden said. “The valuable opportunity will provide insight into what it takes to become a public safety professional and may help produce future law enforcement leaders of tomorrow.”
