IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI) – The Bonneville County Sheriff's Department is hosting a Teen Law Enforcement Career Camp for teens wanting to go into the field.

Over the course of the week, teens will learn skills and participate in activities such as team building, S.W.A.T operations, emergency driving, utilizing drones, proper care with firearms, handling explosives, touring the jail and court, dive training and other specialty training.

There are 25 teens ages 14 to 18 enrolled in the program.
