The young adults who participated in the 2023 Canton Police and Fire Youth Academy completed the week-long program recently. The academy taught students about the daily operations of both the police and fire departments to help participants gain a better understanding of the role local police officers and firefighters have within the community, officers said. The students learned about several special units within each police department as well how to use a fire extinguisher, earned CPR certification, experienced a K9 demonstration and participated in team building activities throughout the week.
