The New Haven Field Office of the FBI and Yale
University Police Department (Yale PD) are proud to announce the third
annual Future Law Enforcement Youth Academy (FLEYA). Two of the nation’s
most notable and iconic institutions will again conduct a week-long law
enforcement and legal training camp for selected youth throughout
Connecticut.
FLEYA
The FLEYA training program will be an overnight camp in which the FLEYA students will be chaperoned by sworn law enforcement and FBI employees. The chaperones chosen will oversee the daily and evening events and will include Yale PD officers, FBI employees, and FBI National Academy alumni. Each alumni officer will originate from the county that the students represent. This will act as a way to promote ongoing communication and networking between law enforcement and the students after the program ends.
This joint effort to promote future law enforcement career paths for Connecticut youth gives the selected youth an inside look at today’s FBI while simultaneously being exposed to various local, state and federal law enforcement agencies and practices. Yale’s campus will again serve as the home base for an academic environment with the premier atmosphere to encourage students to pursue higher education and careers in law enforcement.
The students will receive specific classroom training and practical exercises in investigative forensics, use of cyber technology techniques for combating violent crime, counter intelligence, gang awareness, civil rights (hate crimes), and many more violations of state and federal law. This unique training will include classes with federal agents, assistant U.S. attorneys and state attorneys, local police, and judges.
