Hello, my name is Jake MacKenzie. I am from Carlstadt New Jersey and attend Henry P Becton Regional High School. I'm on the track and field team, in the science Olympiad club at my school and volunteer at Meals for a Mission.

Hi Everyone,
My name is Frank Ciminiello. I am a homeschooling high school junior. I have attended Mahwah Junior Police Academy and Mahwah Police Youth Leadership Academy every summer since fifth grade. I have been active in Cub and Boy Scouts since 2005. I am currently a Star Scout on my way to Eagle. I attended BSA National Youth Leadership Training this summer at Camp Turrel. I am in the 4-H Engineering Club. I have been active in Bergen County 4-H since 2008. It was while volunteering at a 4-H event that met Sgt. Lapp. I have also recently renewed my Civil Air Patrol membership. I am hoping to gain a lot of leadership skills and to receive a fair amount of knowledge in police work. It is my goal to serve in the military after college and then to become a police officer. The training and experience that I will receive as part of the Bergen County Sheriff's Youth Leadership Academy is sure to help me with my goals. I look forward to meeting you all.

Hi everyone my name is Skylar MacKenzie. I am a freshman at Becton Regional High school. I do competition cheering, track, and I snowboard. Some of my hobbies are hiking and camping. My brother did the summer police academy program and after telling me all about it i took interest in doing something like it. In the future I hope to have influenced many people in a positive way. I cant do that without being a leader, and this program will help me do. I am also looking forward to the physical training. I feel it will help me with my sports and may be kind of fun. See you all Friday!!

Hello everyone, my name is Joel Jojy. I am a freshman in Bergenfield High school. I live with my mom, dad, sister and brother. My favorite hobby is playing soccer. I am on the varsity team for BHS and I play for Bergenfield PAL soccer. My other hobbies are reading, playing drums and video games. The reason I joined this academy is to improve my leadership skills, and I believe it will provide me with the necessary tools to become a successful person. I am excited to learn more about Law Enforcement. I am looking forward to meet you all and work as a team throughout this program. I will see you all soon.

Hi everyone, my name is Bobby Stewart and I live in Saddle Brook. I am a sophomore at Bergen Catholic High School in Oradell and I enjoy playing golf and baseball. I am participating in the Leadership Academy because my sister enjoyed herself at the Youth Police Academy over the summer and had nothing but wonderful things to say about it. I am excited to learn law enforcement and hopefully have the same amazing experience my sister had. I am looking forward to meeting all of you on the 25th.
