Police hold summer camp for Dane Co. youth

MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - More than two dozen Dane County youth got to take a field trip to learn more about law enforcement and first responders.

The children are participating in Latino Youth Academy. It is hosted by Latino officers from Madison, Fitchburg, Verona and the University of Wisconsin Police Departments- calling themselves “Amigos en Azul.”

Campers are introduced to how law enforcement works day-to-day and get to meet with specialized units, such as the Mounted Patrol and K9 team.

Participants also get to see how fire departments operate.
