Chief Brackney addresses JPD summer camp youth at training academy

A Facebook Reel shows Chief Brackney speaking to youth attending the JPD Summer Camp at the JPD Training Academy, the video posted online indicates.

The brief video does not provide additional details about the remarks or the number of participants. Police-run summer camps commonly aim to introduce young people to public safety careers, develop leadership skills and foster positive relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve.

Training academies are typically used to instruct officers, but agencies often open facilities for community outreach events such as tours, demonstrations and youth programs. Officials say such interactions can help build trust and provide constructive summer activities for local children and teens.

Details about the event, including its organizers, schedule and topics covered, were not included with the Facebook Reel. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
