Deadline for applications is June 1, 2026!

The Harford County Sheriff’s Office is accepting applications of high school students interested in attending the 2026 Sheriff’s Youth Academy. This is a tremendous opportunity for you to learn about law enforcement! Attendees of the Youth Academy spend five days and four nights at the Harford Glen Environmental Education Center at no cost. You will be given classroom instruction and hands on activities that encompass a broad spectrum of law enforcement responsibilities. We will tour various HCSO sites and interact with law enforcement directly. Traditional summer camp activities are planned in the evenings such as ropes course team building initiatives.
