Youth & Police Initiative

Each and every YPI program is adapted to fit the specific needs of the community being served.

Rockland County’s Youth and Police Initiative’s objective:

• Enhance officers’ community policing skills
• Strengthen prosecutors’ knowledge of the community
• Build long-term positive relationships between local police, prosecutors, and Rockland County’s at-risk youth
• Create links to positive, pro-social community resources
• Create possibilities for mentorship
• Facilitate ways for youth to learn about career paths in Public Safety
• Build upon initial trainings with continuing, planned activities

After Graduation:

The YPI program is a six day program that ends with a graduation gathering that includes food, fun and awards. But that is not the end. This programs brings people together in a family like atmosphere that continues to support each other after graduation by continuing communication via group chats along with other bonding activities listed below.
