Attendees will tour the police academy, learn self defense tactics, handcuffing relays and much more. This is a well organized program and officers are relaxed and ready to answer your questions and have open discussions. Sign up now before spots fill up!
We are proud to celebrate the success of our 3rd Annual Youth Activities Program Soccer Camp! Over three action-packed days, 56 young athletes took to the turf to build their skills, embrace sportsmanship, and discover the true power of teamwork.
This event wouldn't have been possible without the dedication of 12 of our outstanding officers and 2 fantastic volunteers who worked tirelessly to ensure a safe, fun, and impactful experience for the kids.
From skill-building drills to the highly anticipated "Athletes vs. Officers" match, it was an unforgettable three days for everyone. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this year's camp our best one yet. We look forward to seeing you all again next year!
3rd Annual Youth Activities Program Soccer Camp (June 2026)
More than 130 children joined us for an afternoon of hands on activities, learning, and fun with the Anne Arundel County Police Department. Families explored police vehicles, participated in fingerprint demonstrations, met Comfort Dog Razz, tackled the obstacle course, created crafts, and spent time getting to know the officers who serve their community.
From start to finish, the excitement and smiles were everywhere you looked. We loved sharing this experience with you and hope to see you at another community event soon.
Thank you to every family who came out and made Junior Officer Day one to remember! (June 2026)
Our 8th annual Young Activities baseball camp was a massive hit! Over the last three days, 45 incredible local kids, 14 of our officers, and 6 awesome volunteers brought their A-game to the field.
While the hitting and fielding drills were great, the real home runs were built on the ultimate fundamentals: teamwork, communication, and sportsmanship.
Huge shoutout to everyone who stepped up to the plate to make this event unforgettable!
GRAND SLAM! (July 2026)
AHOY FUTURE CAPTAINS!
The Anne Arundel County Police Department’s Youth Activities Program teamed up with Chesapeake Region Accessible Boating (CRAB) for our 5th Annual Sailing Day!

A huge thank you to the dedicated officers and volunteers who came out to mentor our youth, share their passion for sailing, and making this day unforgettable.
