The Groton Police Department and Groton Fire Department are excited to announce we are currently taking applications for our first ever combined Student Public Safety Academy! Pictured here is some of the fun things both departments did with our individual academy and explorer posts.

The Student Public Safety Academy will run June 23 to June 27 from 8 AM - 2 PM at the Groton Center Fire Station. This camp is geared towards current middle school students entering the 7th and 8th grade in the fall.
