Applications Open for 2021 T.A.C. Students Summer Academy
May 12, 2021
The Tallahassee Police Department is currently accepting applications for the T.A.C. Students Summer Academy Leadership Program. This five-day program is designed to prepare high school students to be leaders in every phase of their lives.
The acronym in T.A.C. Students represents Training, Achievement and Confidence. Through leadership development, training and achievements, students in the program will develop the confidence to overcome any situation. Becoming a part of this team is challenging, but the experience is one of a kind.
This year’s academy will be held Monday, June 14, through Friday, June 18, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day at the Florida Public Safety Institute. The class will be limited to 20 students, and the process is competitive.
During the free five-day program, students will participate in interactive classes, including Decision-Making, Defining Relationships, Planning for the Future and Becoming a Leader. During the final day, students will attempt to solve a mock crime scene investigation where they play the role of police officers, investigators, forensic technicians, dispatchers and public information officers.
The program was inspired by TPD's Tactical Apprehension and Control (T.A.C.) Team and is led by police officers, investigators and other distinguished professionals within the community.
Interested high school students or parents of interested students should contact Investigator Priscilla Clark at Priscilla.Clark@Talgov.com to request an application. To learn more, visit the T.A.C. Students web page at Talgov.com/TPD.
