Our Youth Education Officers regularly visit
elementary schools in York Region to deliver the
Values, Influences and Peers program to Grade 6, 7
and 8 students. The VIP program addresses topics
such as theft, drugs, vandalism and bullying.
In our secondary schools, School Liaison Officers
are highly visible through regularly-scheduled visits
with both students and faculty. School Liaison
Officers actively participate in school events and are
responsible for responding to calls for police from the
schools.
Our four Community Liaison Officers act as a direct
connection between York Regional Police and the
community. The officers are also responsible for
the implementation and management of the Youth
Referral Program, an alternative measures program for
young people arrested for minor crimes.
