The Future Law Enforcement Youth Academy (FLEYA) will include classroom sessions, practical exercises, light physical activity and social events. Some topics will cover investigative forensics, cybercrime, violent crime, gang awareness, counter intelligence, civil rights, and a wide range of state and federal violations.
This unique educational experience will also include interactions with special agents, intelligence analysts, police officers and deputies, as well as local and federal prosecutors.
