Reseda Police Academy Celebrates its 14th Year!

The Reseda High School Police Academy Magnet Program began in the fall of 1998 and is one of five PAM high schools and two PAM middle schools in the LAUSD. This model career pathway program is a partnership between the LAPD and LAUSD, designed to educate students about law enforcement through a rigid course of study involving intense physical training and compulsory community service. An LAPD Officer is assigned a full-time position at the site to teach, counsel and mentor the students through their police academy experience. Becoming a part of Reseda High School’s Police Academy Magnet is a major decision requiring the dedication of the student first and foremost.

Our Mission:

  • To prepare highly motivated young men and women for careers in law enforcement
  • To provide a rigorous, thematic curriculum that meets A-G requirements, ensuring that all graduates qualify for acceptance into a four-year university
  • To expose students to a plethora of careers in the fields of law enforcement and criminal justice
  • To establish learning links between academic skills and success in the workplace
  • To afford students optimum strength and cardiovascular training through four years of physical training and nutritional counseling
  • To mentor students so they may become a credit to society and a positive influence within their communities
