Law Enforcement Youth Academy
The Law Enforcement Youth Academy (LEYA) is an opportunity to have an insider's look at the Rice University Police Department (RUPD) to learn how a police agency operates.
Topics include the History of Policing, Crime Prevention, the Criminal Justice System, Traffic Law, and Police Technology.
There is no charge to attend this class. The LEYA program is sponsored and conducted by RUPD for the youth of our campus communities to more fully understand the workings of the police and criminal justice system.
