Youth Services Section : Police Community Response Team | School Liaison Unit | Youth Services Unit

Youth Services Section

The Youth Services Section promotes youth experiences that create strong self-esteem and a respect for the dignity and differences of others.

The Youth Services Section contains three units and is accountable to the Deputy Chief Constable, Investigation Division:

• Police Community Response Team
• School Liaison Unit
  • Student Challenge
• Youth Services Unit

Communities and agencies are seen as working as a team, identifying at the earliest those children at risk and those who have committed crimes. The referrals and justice processes that are activated are timely and effective at restoring children back into a positive environment.

Goals of the Youth Services Section

The goals of the Youth Services Section are to:

• pursue a safe, secure and positive environment for all youth through asset building, youth programs, prevention initiatives, interventions, information gathering and partnerships
• address criminal involvement through investigation and justice processes
• refer those at risk to appropriate partner agencies
