The Fort Myers Police Department Annual Respect for Law Camp, which is scheduled for May 30-June 2, 2013 at Bishop Verot High School, 5598 Sunrise Drive, Fort Myers.

The four-day, three-night Respect for Law Camp is open to children ages 11-14. Enrollment in the camp is limited to the first 132 campers to apply.

The goal of the camp is to give youngsters an up-close look at law enforcement. By doing that, the police department hopes to build respect for the law and enhance the child's self-esteem. The staff members of the camp are various state and local law enforcement personnel and guest speakers.

Highlights from the 2012 camp include live police scenarios, SWAT demonstrations, K9 demonstrations, mass casualty simulations, police/fire obstacle courses, hands-on equipment displays and team building activities.

Applications are available starting in February 2013 at the Fort Myers Police Department, any middle school in the City of Fort Myers also online at www.RespectForLaw.net. The deadline will be posted. Applications also can be mailed or faxed by calling 239-321-7688.
