he Marana Police Department is hosting a MPD Kids Police Academy for children ages 5 to 9 years from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. Monday, March 20, to Friday, March 24. The police department has held the camp in the past, however, this is the first year since the outbreak of COVID-19. Officer Ashley Espinoza said the camp will educate kids on safety topics as well as walk them through the police department’s functions. “They'll go through various topics such as stranger danger,” Espinoza said. “They'll also get to experience some fingerprinting forensics, meet officers and do some physical fitness and activities throughout the week with different officers.” She also said that the camp was created as a way for the department to improve their relationship with the community. “We just want kids to be more comfortable approaching us,” she said.
