Summer Youth Program

          LAW ENFORCEMENT SUMMER YOUTH                                                             2022    


As the start of school nears, the Fredericksburg Police Department has concluded its annual Summer Youth Program for 2022.  Aside from the extreme heat this year, we had a great summer and hope that our kids in the community enjoyed it as much as we did.  

We would like to take the time to thank all those that have contributed to making this program a success.  Our police department staff and sheriff’s office staff cannot be thanked enough for their efforts.

 This year the kids had two pool days and two days at one of the pavilions in Lady Bird Park.  The lifeguards did a great job keeping our kids safe, and the park staff were attentive and made scheduling very easy.  We would also like to give a special thanks to all the staff at The Preserve on Doublehorn Road.  This was the first year the kids were able to see the Elephants and Giraffes at The Preserve.  Their staff made this program truly special for the kids, and we are grateful for the program and courteousness they provided us.  Thank you to the staff at EVO Fritztown Cinema.  This year the kids saw Lightyear and Minions the Rise of Gru.  Thank you to Sgt. Sterling Hood, Deputy Brad McNair, and K-9 Furex of the Gillespie County Sheriff’s Office for K-9 Furex’s demonstration for the kids at the park.  Lastly, thank you to the 4-H Club and to Retired Game Warden, Sam Harris for lending us all the archery equipment and fishing poles for our Fishing and Archery Day.  The fish did not cooperate very well that day, but the kids really enjoyed a friendly archery competition with some of our police officers.

 It takes the help of many to make this program successful.  All of us at the police department are thankful for the continued support we receive from our community each year to keep this program going.  

We look forward to doing this again next summer.  See you there.
