At a ceremony at the Booker Dozier
Recreation Center last week, 16 young
men from Inkster graduated from the
Michigan Youth Leadership Academy
(MiYLA). The academy is designed to
inspire teens to recognize their potential,
be leaders and mentors in their commu-
nities and develop personal character
through partnerships with law enforce-
ment.
During academy classes, which took
place at the Michigan State Police (MSP)
Training Academy in Lansing, officers
from the Michigan State Police and the
Inkster Police Department served as
mentors and classroom instructors.
Lessons focused on the "keys for charac-
ter," which include service, integrity,
excellence, courtesy and pride, and the
young men were taught how to apply
these "keys" to their everyday lives in an
effort to have a positive impact on their
nation, state, community, schools, homes
and personal lives, according to a state-
ment fromthe state police office.
Areas of instruction included: physical
activity, first aid, military drill, water safe-
ty, interview skills, leadership and other
teamand character building exercises. In
addition, students were presented with
training modules from the Teaching,
Educating and Mentoring (T.E.A.M.) pro-
gram on the topics of "Understanding
Law Enforcement," "Violence has No
Place in a Relationship," "The Law and
You" and "Gangs and Violence." Students
also received a presentation by the MSP
PrecisionDriving Unit, a tour of the State
Capitol and a visit to Michigan State
University.
Michigan State Police has been host-
ing the MiYLA since 2005. To date, 1,041
teens have graduated from the academy
which is federally funded by a Byrne
Justice Assistance Grant awarded to the
MichiganStatePolice.
Among the graduates from Inkster last week were: Thomas Allen; Ernest Bracy; Darion
Brock; Alexander Brown; Edmond Dounamou; DyZek Flemming; Sterling Halimon;
Martez Hunter; Gregory Joseph; John Lowe; Paul Lowe; Early McCullough; Antajuan
Moore; Tyler Spencer; Jalen Starks and Jacob Toney.
Mud Day participants all look a bit like this young man when the games are complete.
