Research Topic / Area of Study Law Enforcement

Connection to research paper
My paper focused on a lot of the different forces and branches
of law enforcement and the education and training required to
become a police officer. I hope to use this obstacle course to
show, in a fun way, what it takes to go through the intense
training required to graduate from the police academy.

Goal of product / what problem or
need solved or addressed
I hope to use this obstacle course to show, in a fun way, what it
takes to go through the intense training required to graduate
from the police academy. I also want to teach kids to have a
great respect for our local law enforcement and the intense
training it requires.

Estimated time to complete It will take me approximately one month to complete, during
this month I will have to talk with my mentor, gather supplies,
and set up a location to run the course.

People who will assist (if applicable) My mentor, officer parker, coach deffenbaugh, friends, the
children participating

Estimated cost / investment The estimated cost of my product will be roughly around
$100.00.

What will judges see at
presentation? (evidence of work
and development)
The judges will see photos or a video(depends on what parents
consent to) of the obstacle course taking place, they will see
student survey, the communication between myself and coach
D(PE teacher) and the parents, and also a live demo with the
judges.

Personal stretch (area of growth) Communication with adults in a professional manner,

organizing an event, presenting the obstacle course in a large
crowd is intimidating to me.

Product Description:

My product is to make a fun obstacle course for children in my community. I want to bring
together the youth and show them a fun way they can relate themselves to law enforcement. Law
enforcement is being criticized poorly right now in our country and if I can make our youth relate
and respect them by having fun in a obstacle course then i feel like i succeeded. I plan to set up an
obstacle course similar to what police officers have to complete when they go through training. I
want to make it fun for children but also show how hard it is. I want to complete this at Pine Lake
during a lower school P.E. class. After the obstacle course I tend to select a handful of kids and
interview them on their opinion of becoming a Police Officer.

1) Talk to Coach Deffenbaugh

2) Pick

Notes- Complete the obstacle course during the lower schools PE classes, or assembly

Notes- Consent forms to take video, interview kids, do a survey for the kids for what they think it
takes to become officer
