You can learn all of this and more by signing up for SPARK! What’s SPARK? It’s the Salinas Police Awareness, Responsibility, and Knowledge course, created for high school students. You’ll learn powerful life skills from real police officers plus EMTs, doctors, and other people whose lives and work make an impact.
Every class is full of inside knowledge and hands-on experience you won’t find anywhere else. How much does it cost? It’s free—you just commit to showing up.
SPARK happens weekly at Salinas Police Headquarters, 312 E. Alisal St.
