That's exactly what the Haliburton Highlands Ontario Provincial Police is attempting to do with its new initiative, the OPP Youth Academy.The program, the first of its kind to be offered in the region, gives high school students a chance to learn more about the diverse roles within the OPP and gauge whether this is a career that interests them.The OPP Youth Academy is a six-week program beginning March 26th, where students in grades 9 through 12 spend two hours each week at the Minden detachment. It's a chance for students to get a behind the scenes look at the work the OPP carry out every day.
