A police academy named in memory of “the little chief” helped build bonds between officers and village youngsters.

The Second Annual Chief Michael Feeney Jr. Police Academy ran from June 22 to 30.

The academy presents an opportunity for children entering sixth, seventh and eighth grades to get to know police officers while also learning some valuable skills. The program offers the children a chance to have fun while in a learning environment, making them more likely to remember what they are taught, according to village police officials.

Ridgewood Police Lt. Glenn Ender, one of the driving forces behind the academy, noted that “several towns do a youth police academy; it’s a great way for us to interact with the youth of the town, and to show them what it’s like to be an officer.”

The academy’s namesake, Michael Feeney, died in late 2013 after a courageous battle with Ewing’s sarcoma.

Ender said Feeney was “inspirational” to the department and village.

“We gave him a badge, gave him a uniform and he just thought it was the greatest thing,” said Ender. “To see his face, it was just unbelievable.”

After Feeney tragically lost his battle with the disease, Ender decided that he wanted to do something in the “little chief’s” memory.
