During the summer, many children enjoy day camps, Vacation Bible Schools and other activities, but a dozen members of the Boys and Girls Club of Bulloch County had a unique experience that taught them what it's like to be a police officer. For the first time, the Statesboro Police Department offered a Youth Citizens' Police Academy, similar to the adult version of the course that has been in existence for a few years. W hile the adult CPA lasts 11 weeks and classes are a couple of hours long each week, the YCPA course is only six weeks, with classes lasting an hour so as to better fit a child's attention span, said Statesboro Police Cpl. Justin Samples.
