Attention Juniors and Sophomores:

The Salem County Prosecutor's office is offering a FREE Youth Week this summer. 

The DILEA (Diversity in Law Enforcement Academy) program presents simulated law enforcement programs for male and female students who are entering their junior year or entering their senior year of High School.

The week's activities include lectures and presentations covering many 
facets of police work and criminal justice. Participants will be exposed to a 
disciplined quasi-military environment, including military drill in combination 
with structured fast moving programs of classroom activities, lectures, films, 
practical exercises and physical training, simulating the police recruit 
training experience. 

The program emphasizes courtesy, professionalism, respect and 
teamwork. Additional presentations will include strategies for anger 
management, conflict resolution and cultural diversity. 


ATTENTION: SENIORS 

The Tri-County Midget Football League, Inc. Scholarship is not printed in the list.  Applicant must have been a member of the league.  The deadline is May15th.
